Doing the Challenge via Gitpod.

.env file:

MONGO_URI='mongodb+srv://<myusername>:<mypassword>@cluster0.d3v9l.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0'

myApp.js

 const mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
}).then(() => {
  console.log("MongoDB connection successful");
  console.log("Mongoose connection state:", mongoose.connection.readyState); 
}).catch((err) => {
  console.error("MongoDB connection error:", err);
});

Terminal:

 MongoDB connection successful
 Mongoose connection state: 1

The Mongodb-site also shows in and output from/to my DB. So i feel like the connection is successful especially as it took a while to get the terminal logs to show a successful connection/a 1 there and that changing correlates with in-/output appearing on the mongodb-site. But test2
// running tests
2. “mongoose” should be connected to a database
// tests completed
is not fullfiled. Solution Link worked fine for all previous gitpod challenges.
Anything obvious i’m missing? Thanks for your help.

I cant check this from localhost, so is this all the code in question?

Should be everything that i added/was asked for in the task. The myApp.js part could obviously be shorter without the tests. Does this Snapshot work?

Now im confused :smiley: For the Snapshot i changed MONGO_URI in the .env file and took my username/the pw out of it so im not connected to my db anymore but just now both tests were successful

Well if it works it could just be a glitch, I was able to clone or run your code on my machine same problem, The hint led me to this information.
