Install and Set up Mongoose problems

I’m getting the mongoose is not connected message on running the test.
Mongodb and mongoose dependencies are okay.

Relevant code :
in the . env :
MONGO_URI=mongodb://:@ds123790.mlab.com:23790/yakdatabase

in myapp.js:
var mongoose = require(“mongoose”);
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI);

in package.json :
“dependencies”: {
“express”: “^4.12.4”,
“body-parser”: “^1.15.2”,
“mongodb”: “^3.6.6”,
“mongoose”: “^5.1.6”
},

Help appreciated. username and password to connect to mLab seem okay. Any quick way to validate this ?

Uhm, are you sure about the second colon?

mongodb://:@ds123790.mlab.com:23790/yakdatabase

Watching one old string of mine i had my username right after the //, followed by that colon , my password a then the rest.
Something like that ( just randomly changed the password ;P):

“mongodb://layer:#SpreeAfterThat44#@ds125341.mlab.com:25341/cottonDB”,

One last thing: where that myapp is running? Did you checked if it can read the value of process.env.MONGO_URI?

thanks for the input. Was gonna pull my hair out. Finally figured out username and password should not be within <>. duh…lol.

I am facing an issue in this challenge. In glitch, the connection looks fine, but when I am trying to pass the challenge Iam getting 3 times “not found” on the console. Stuck on this. Need help

You could’ve opened another topic :sweat_smile:

Anyway, post your code and someone will help: simply state the error doesn’t give much detail to understand what’s the problem ^^

:joy: thought of using the existing chain since I was going through different chains for this challenge. Anyway below is my code :

myApp.js :
var express = require(‘express’);
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require(‘body-parser’);
const mongoose = require(‘mongoose’);
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true });

package.json:
{
“name”: “fcc-learn-node-with-express”,
“version”: “0.1.0”,
“dependencies”: {
“express”: “^4.16.4”,
“body-parser”: “^1.15.2”,
“cookie-parser”: “^1.4.3”,
“mongoose”: “^5.3.13”,
“mongodb”: “^3.1.10”,
“connect-mongo”: “^2.0.2”,
“fcc-express-bground”: “https://github.com/Em-Ant/fcc-express-bground-pkg.git”
},
“main”: “server.js”,
“scripts”: {
“start”: “node server.js”
},
“engines”: {
“node”: “11.1.0”
}
}

.env :

SECRET=
MADE_WITH=
MONGO_URI=mongodb://pratiks77:XXXXXXXXXX@ds237748.mlab.com:37748/pratikdb

challenge console log :
// running tests

I’m stuck and I have the same issues. It seem to be working but I get the three “Not Found” …
