Issue Solved
If it helps anyone, if you happen to have this error, make sure you wrapped MLAB_URI
between quotes (or double quotes).
Inside .env
file —> YOUR_URI="X"
Tell us what’s happening:
I just “forked” Exercise Tracker project in glitch and there is already an error.
MongoError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect [MongoError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017]
I think it’s related to the following bit of code:
mongoose.connect(process.env.MLAB_URI || 'mongodb://localhost/exercise-track' )
- I already declared
MLAB_URI
in.env
file. - I tried deleting
'mongodb://localhost/exercise-track'
frommongoose.connect()
- The error appears as soon as I fork the project. You can easily try yourselves following this link or “link to the challenge” below.
