Advanced Node and Express error

So yea, I got stuck. I even decided to simply copy server.js file provided by you guys on GitHub Gist, but I get

const MongoStore = require(‘connect-mongo’)(session);
^
TypeError: Class constructor MongoStore cannot be invoked without ‘new’

I’ll try to solve this myself of course, but you should look into it.
All dependencies were installed directly from Repl.it, so maybe there’re some issue with newer versions of some of them…

Welcome, there.

We are aware of this issue: Advanced Node and Express - Package Versioning · Issue #39521 · freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp (github.com)

The solution is as you suggested - downgrade the package version.

Welcome, fonsusali.

We are trying to make sure there are no weird bugs in this, and thought we had resolved this issue. So, would you mind elaborating on what you experienced during this challenge?

Specifically, the challenge mentions:

connect-mongo@~3.2.0,

Does this not work for you?

It worked for me, after I downgraded connect-mongo to npm i connect-mongo@3, it worked fine and the above error disappeared, and sessions was running fine on Mongodb
