@kevinSmith @camperextraordinaire
Kindly look through my code and update me what could be the problem
Thanks in advance?

Did you install the right dependency? Be careful of small details. There can be other packages with very similar names.

[onyangaemmanuel25]

I installed the right dependencies but something is still not passing

[kevinSmith]

I don’t know, it’s just that the socket package in your package.json has a dash. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

As said, you didn’t install the correct package. If you did you would have a passport.socketio folder inside the node_modules folder, which you do not.

Also, running npm install from the shell with that dependency (passport-socketio": "~3.7.0) in package.json should give you an error.

'passport-socketio@~3.7.0' is not in this registry.

[onyangaemmanuel25]

Even when npm i passport.socketio
Nothing seems to change just the same as before

[lasjorg]

Now you have this passportsocketio in your package.json which isn’t correct either.

[onyangaemmanuel25]

There are the dependencies what is missing kindly advise

[lasjorg]

Now you are using a dash again, why?

The package name is passport.socketio

[onyangaemmanuel25]

Nothing changed, check the response even after doing whatever you said

[lasjorg]

I’m not getting that error. Open the Shell tab and run npm i

[lasjorg]

Also just as an aside, in connection.js you are using process.env.DB but in server.js you are using process.env.MONGO_URI

[onyangaemmanuel25]

Thanks for that insight i finally changed my DB with all the dependencies well installed and it passed thanks for your time.
