MongoDb C# Typed Aggregations with Group Unwind and Project

Question

I have a collection like this:

[{
  "_id": 1,
  "OtherProperties": 100
  "PersonInventory": [{
    "FirstName": "Joe",
    "MiddleName": "Bob",
    "LastName": "Blogs",
    "PersonId": 1
  }]
},{
  "_id": 2,
  "OtherProperties": 1005
  "PersonInventory": [{
    "FirstName": "Joe",
    "MiddleName": "Bob",
    "LastName": "Blogs",
    "PersonId": 1
  }]
}]

And I am trying to select all the unique persons in the root docs using here newer type inference mongodb c# driver syntax.

Tried this so far but getting errors saying the method is not available (i think this is to do with the grouping), can anyone show me where I am going wrong?

collection.Aggregate()
  .Match(m => m.PersonInventory.Count > o)
  .Unwind<RootDoc, Person>(t => t.PersonInventory)
  .Group(k => k.PersonId, g => g.First())
  .ToListAsync();

Models:

public class Person
{
  [BsonId]
  public long PersonId { get; set; }
  public string FirstName { get; set; }
  public string MiddleName { get; set; }
  public string LastName { get; set; }
}

public class RootDoc
{
  public long Id{ get; set; }
  //more props
  public IList<Person> PersonInventory { get; set; }
}

FYI the error message is Specified method is not supported..

Answer 1

I did some digging on the mongodb Jira pages, it looks like there isn't support for the variable $$ROOT, so the above queries are not supported.
