Challenge: Install and Set Up Mongoose
Link to the challenge:
What is the error that you get? If you console.log(process.env.MONGO_URI); what do you get?
When I add console.log(process.env.MONGO_URI); to myApp.js I’m getting mongodb+srv://user:<Shreya02>@cluster0.mdtag.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority.
As for the error here is the screenshot:
Don’t you need to remove the <> from the password?
Yeah, I wasn’t sure if that’s the real string or he edited it, but that definitely looks odd to me. And the DB name.
Yep, the DB name also looks like a placeholder.
I don’t know that what DB service you are using, but I seem to remember from when I was using mlab that it would give me the uri for specific DBs.
The <> in the password was the problem. I didn’t change the dbname, yet I somehow passed the test. Thanks a lot for the help guys
