Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

Since you cannot use a .env file I have included it on repl.it as a Secret (asterisks indicate my user, password, and db) as follows:

I have no spaces, have tried all solutions on forum from searches
I installed mongodb and mongoose via npm, and obviously required mongoose and set it to the variable mongoose

Nothing has worked…

Here’s the error I’m getting via console:

Your code so far

Secret Key:
MONGO_URI=
Secret Value:
'mongodb+srv://******:*****@*******.sazke.mongodb.net/******?retryWrites=true&w=majority'

require('dotenv').config();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true

Hello there,

Do you include the = (equals) sign in the property name? If so, remove it.

3

are the quotes included? because written like that it make them part of the value, you should not write extra characters other than the actual value

4

single quotes are included as instructed… will try without

5

I removed single quotes…

I fixed { useUnifiedTopology: true }

where is this instructed? you never put values in quotes in an .env file
