terminal gets stuck after typing some command in the mongo container shell

Question

In my mac, I just want to inspect into the shell of a mongo container created based on the mongo:3.5.8 from docker hub and play with it.

However, Although I can go into the mongo shell by running sudo docker exec -t mongo-test mongo , the terminal gets stuck and there is no response, after typing any command (such as show dbs ) and hitting enter.

thanks. Any idea could be really helpful.

Add the interactive option "i" like sudo docker exec -it mongo-test mongo

You can see all the options here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/exec/
