Stuck in "Install and Set Up Mongoose" on 19th May 2022

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, I’m confusing about the challenge “Install and Set Up Mongoose”.
I’ve read past topics but I still wasn’t able to find a solution.

I’ve passed two checks :
“mongodb” dependency should be in package.json
“mongoose” dependency should be in package.json

but can’t pass:
“mongoose” should be connected to a database

Here is my code.

myApp.js

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect(process.env['MONGO_URI'], { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });

package.json

"dependencies": {
        "body-parser": "^1.15.2",
        "dotenv": "^8.2.0",
        "express": "^4.12.4",
        "mongodb": "~3.6.0",
        "mongoose": "~5.4.0"
    }

Since there is a message “the options [useUnifiedTopology] is not supported” in my console, I tried to remove this from my connect method but it still doesn’t work.


Would you see why my solution doesn’t work? If you have any idea, please help me.
Thank you.



Also, here is my status on MongoDB.

This might have nothing to do, but worth a shot: try removing the double quotes in your ENV.SECRET and see if it works.

The errors smells to me like it’s failing to parse to url.
More a guess, than a certainty but worth a shot imho. :smile:

Hello,

Thank you for your replying! It worked!


However, I needed one more little step to pass the challenge.
So let me share for future readers.

First, you need to remove the double quotes from your Secrets.
topic-secrets2


Then, you also need to remove this portion { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true } from your connect method. Like this:

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect(process.env['MONGO_URI']);

This step doesn’t along with the challenge direction, but it is necessary at least on 20th May 2022 and on my environment.


Anyway, I really appreciate your advice. I feel better now. Thank you!
