When I tried to run your code I got this error:

ReferenceError: findOneByFood is not defined

So when I uncommented this part of the code:

//const findOneByFood = (food, //done) => {
 //done(null /*, data*/);
//};

I was able to pass the tests

[meeramenon07]

Ok, I will do it again.thanks a lot

[meeramenon07]

I repeated the test many times and also uncommented the lines for const findOneByFood lines but still not passing. Please help. Thanks.

[sitek94]

The only thing I’ve changed in your code to make it pass the tests:

Code before

//const findOneByFood = (food, //done) => {
 //done(null /*, data*/);
//};

Code after

const findOneByFood = (food, done) => {
 done(null /*, data*/);
};

Very sad that when I am doing it after making above change , I am unable to pass.

That’s strange Can you send the error message that you’re getting and your most recent repl link?

[meeramenon07]

latest repl link is:

error message:creating and saving a db item should succeed.(test timed out)

[sitek94]

What about the errors in the console?

I was able to reproduce the same error:

Creating and saving a db item should succeed (Test timed out)

after I used wrong values in .env file when setting up MONGO_URI, so double check if everything is correct in your .env file.

[meeramenon07]

ok will chk my env file

[meeramenon07]

the console reads error as :
unhandled promise rejections mongooseErroe:'people.insertOne()
mongoose 'openUri() must be a string, got “undefined”

[sitek94]

It looks like it can’t get your URI string from .env file, hence this error:

mongoose 'openUri() must be a string, got “undefined”

Make sure that the variable name in your .env file matches the one that you use in myApp.js

It has to be exactly the same:

// .env
MONGO_URI="..."

// myApp.js
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {...});

finally I passed the test by uncommenting the people variables. cheers.
