Connect parameter

[noirbizarre]

This PR allows to use MONGODB_CONNECT parameter and document both the existing MONGO_SETTINGS['connect'] and the new MONGODB_CONNECT parameters.

I had to read #255 to discover this possibility which isn't documented and this solve a common issue.

Context: this feature seems to appear in #280 but there was issues and PRs before. ex: #255, #266, #126

Please complete this merge request, the Travis errors seem to be total BS, i.e. pip and PyPy3 related

[noirbizarre]

Any news on this one ?
Tests are passing except those on Pypy3 which werealready failing before.

@touilleMan @rozza @wojcikstefan
Sorry to ping you, but this issue is really blocking and I just want to know how I can help to get this merged, what should I change if it's needed... (build errors are totally unrelated to this PR)

[lafrech]

Looks good to me. Care to add a test in https://github.com/MongoEngine/flask-mongoengine/blob/master/tests/test_connection.py#L169?

Indeed, the CI failure is unrelated (I relaunched the tests for latest commit in master in got the same errors).

I'm not involved in flask-mongoengine anymore as I'm using @touilleMan's umongo. @rozza isn't involed anymore either AFAIK.

@noirbizarre, I can give you write access if you want to help maintaining flask-mongoengine. @MongoEngine/flask-mongoengine, any objection?

[touilleMan]

@lafrech that's fine for me ;-)

(you should give @noirbizarre write right to the whole mongoengine organisation if you can)

[noirbizarre]

Thanks !

I'm using mongoengine on only one project now, but it's an important project.

I also switched on umongo on my other projets 😉 Glad to see that's the same team.
If you give me write access I can perform so basic maintainance (ie. review, merge and release) on flask-mongoengine but not much more because I also have other projects to maintain and as you know it's time consuming !

[lafrech]

@noirbizarre, I can't invite you to the organization. I invited you to be a collaborator on both Mongoengine and flask-mongoengine. No pressure to do any work.

[touilleMan]

@noirbizarre Happy to hear you find umongo useful ;-)
If you want I can give you write access to umongo repo 😄

[noirbizarre]

Yes, great ! I'll be glad to help on umongo too (I'll have some patches to submit and I'm working on a factory module for umongo aka. a factoryboy-like but async)

[touilleMan]

@noirbizarre welcome aboard 🎉
