Advanced Node and Express - Implement the Serialization of a Passport User

Tell us what’s happening:

‘Implement the serialization of a passport user’ task.

‘Database connection’ test not passed.

Hi,
I’ve insert MONGO_URI in .env (mongodb+srv://lorenzoterreni1997:@cluster0.qwp9gtr.mongodb.net/) with correct password and no error is printed in console, and the pug view is correctly rendered. I’ve set ‘0.0.0.0/0’ in IP address list in mongoAtlas too.

In console it appear only a warning:

Could someone help me?

Your code so far

'use strict';
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const { ObjectID } = require('mongodb');

const myDB = require('./connection');
const fccTesting = require('./freeCodeCamp/fcctesting.js');

const app = express();

fccTesting(app); //For FCC testing purposes
app.use('/public', express.static(process.cwd() + '/public'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.use(session({
  secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET,
  resave: true,
  saveUninitialized: true,
  cookie: { secure: false }
}));

app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.set('views', './views/pug');

myDB(async client => {
  const myDataBase = await client.db('chat_app').collection('users');

  // Be sure to change the title
  app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
    // Change the response to render the Pug template
    res.render('index', { title: 'Hello', message: 'Please login' });
  });

  // Serialization and deserialization
  passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
    done(null, user._id);
  });

  passport.deserializeUser((id, done) => {
    myDataBase.findOne({ _id: new ObjectID(id) }, (err, doc) => {
      done(null, doc);
    });
  });

}).catch(e => {
  app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
    res.render('index', { title: e, message: 'Unable to connect to database' });
  });
});


const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log('Listening on port ' + PORT);
});

Advanced Node and Express - Implement the Serialization of a Passport User

You should have the same res.render code as in the challenge text.

    res.render('index', {
      title: 'Connected to Database',
      message: 'Please login'
    });
