Have you setup the dotenv package as per the instructions on the page?

I fixed the issue by adding this to the top of the page “require(‘dotenv’).config()”
this wasnt apart of the instructions but after adding that it worked, I think it needs to be added to the page.

It is part of the instructions but you have to read to the end to find it.
