I have been struggling for a while now to pass the first class of MongoDB and Mongoose (https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/back-end-development-and-apis/mongodb-and-mongoose/install-and-set-up-mongoose)
I copied the boilerplate from GitHub - freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mongomongoose: A boilerplate for the freeCodeCamp curriculum.
I changed the sample.env to .env file. in my .env file I have:
MONGO_URI='mongodb+srv://karelwillemyns:aPassword@cluster0.g6b3uyq.mongodb.net/fcc-mongodb-and-mongoose?retryWrites=true&w=majority'type or paste code here
I tried with and without quotes (on FCC is instructed with, chatGPT insisted it should be without)
The current start of myApp.js is:
require('dotenv').config();
console.log('MONGO_URI:', process.env.MONGO_URI);
/** # MONGOOSE SETUP #
/* ================== */
/** 1) Install & Set up mongoose */
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
let Person;
package.json has mongoose 5.11.15 in dependencies:
{
"name": "fcc-mongo-mongoose-challenges",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "A boilerplate project",
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "^1.15.2",
"dotenv": "^8.2.0",
"express": "^4.12.4",
"mongoose": "^5.11.15"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mongomongoose.git"
},
"keywords": [
"node",
"mongoose",
"express"
],
"license": "MIT"
}
yet these are the test results when passing the solution link:
// running tests 1. “mongoose version ^5.11.15” dependency should be in package.json 2. “mongoose” should be connected to a database // tests completed // console output [Error] [Error]

I do not understand why a bad auth error is given. password and username have been reviewed many times.
Also, I suppose that the first test (1. “mongoose version ^5.11.15” dependency should be in package.json) should be passed even with a bad connection…
