Advanced Node and Express - Registration of New Users

JavaScript
33

I had the same issue. I followed the advice here and finally got it to pass. Here’s a summary of things I changed that worked (not sure which are necessary) to help anyone that comes later:

  1. Double-check references to database and collection names throughout server.js Make sure they actually refer to the database on MongoDB in every instance. This is related to another issue in challenge #8 - Middleware. It didn’t mention to declare a mongoDB var, or change title variable in the server.js file to ‘Home Page’. I figured this out per advice here : MongoError: cannot do raw queries on admin in atlas for advanced node and express challenge

and here: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/issues/18201#issuecomment-435695091

but the issue followed me to this challenge. Could just be me but thought I’d reference it in case others have issues.

  1. On the index page, change the title to: Home Profile

and change the h1 to h1.border.center Home Page freeCodeCampTester

  1. On the profile page, change the title to Profile Page

and change the h1 to h1.border.center Profile Home freeCodeCampTester

  1. go into Mongo DB, and delete your database. Run the tests (Some say you have to run it twice, but I passed on the first go.)
