mongoose.connect(), first argument should be String, received undefined

Question

I am trying to set the test database for the testing purpose, but its not working.

I am trying to connect to mongodb using mongoose, but finding problem in connection er

Answer 1

I came across this same issue and here is my fix: the process.env.MONGODB_URL should be in a string. Check it out

const mongoose = require('mongoose');


mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
mongoose.connect('process.env.MONGODB_URI', err => {
    if(err) 
        console.log(err);
    } 
);



module.exports = {
    mongoose
};
