How do i reset the database (a.k.a. empty all of the collections)

Answered by hasezoey

here what can be done, in order (from 1 best to lowest) that should be done

remove the database with the mongodb driver (or mongoose or anything else) [this should be preferred]
use a different database in the connection string (like generate an name with something like uuidv4)
restart the instance (only work if storageEngine is ephermeralForTest, for others the files need to be also cleaned) [this should be avoided, because it would slow down test]
