I am not sure why is this not working.
I might be having issue in connecting it to the database but even if that’s the problem why am I not passing package.json test case

Challenge: MongoDB and Mongoose - Install and Set Up Mongoose

Link to the challenge:

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI);

This is not the correct syntax. The challenge specifies exactly what is required. You’re missing something.

You should have your MONGO_URI stored in your .env file. DO NOT include it in your publicly visible code.

The format of the URI should be similar to this:
mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster-name>.prx1c.mongodb.net/<db-name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority

You should only need to insert your password, as all other fields should already be filled in for you.

NOTE: If your password contains any of these special characters, you will need to use percent encoding: : / ? # [ ] @
