Trying to sync node but Mongo collections still empty.
I'm running my own bitcoin node on my local machine, already built bitcore, started a MongoDB container with the correct port mapping and connected bitcore to my local node via bitcore.config.json.
The logs don't seem to show any error, but after a long time of syncing I try to query the MongoDB collections and get an empty array. Also, I get no data from any block.
MongoDB version: 8.0.8. Node version: 23.11.0.
The only syncing logs I get:
info :: 2025-04-16T17:30:51.124Z :: This worker is now the syncing node for BTC mainnet
info :: 2025-04-16T17:30:51.161Z :: 2025-04-16 12:30:51.161 GMT-5 | Syncing 2000 blocks | Chain: BTC | Network: mainnet
I also get the following warning:
(node:19058) [MONGODB DRIVER] Warning: Current Server Discovery and Monitoring engine is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version.

I greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
The warning is happening because bitcore uses an old configuration for Node.js Mongo driver. we need to include useUnifiedTopology option in the Mongo client. I have done this but this introduces some additional errors which might take some time to fix.
