Tell us what’s happening:

I couldn’t pass the challenge and I connected to my DB successfully

###Your project link(s)

'use strict';
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const myDB = require('./connection');
const fccTesting = require('./freeCodeCamp/fcctesting.js');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const { ObjectID } = require('mongodb');
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
app.use(cors());
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.set('views', './views/pug');

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

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

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

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

  app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
    res.render('index', {
      title: 'Connected to Database',
      message: 'Please log in'
    });
  });

  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}`);
});

solution: http://localhost:3000
