Node course saving a document doesn't work

Node
#1

When following the code in the “CRUD Operations Using Mongoose: saving a document” part:
if I follow the course code and mongoose version, it gives me error:

MongoError: Unsupported OP_QUERY command: insert. The client driver may require an upgrade. For more details see https://dochub.mongodb.org/core/legacy-opcode-removal

  code: 352,
  codeName: 'UnsupportedOpQueryCommand'
}

If I upgrade the driver to current, error message become

(node:6408) DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new parser, pass option { useNewUrlParser: true } to MongoClient.connect.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
(node:6408) [MONGODB DRIVER] Warning: Current Server Discovery and Monitoring engine is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new Server Discover and Monitoring engine, pass option { useUnifiedTopology: true } to the MongoClient constructor.

So I changed the code to
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/playground', { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
Now it just doesn’t respond and eventually timeout.

What’s the problem here? Any help is appreciated!

My OS is Win10, vs code version 1.74.2, Node version 16.14.2

can you wrap that code in try {} catch() {} block.
Here is the code:

try {
    mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/playground', { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
    console.log('db connection successful...');
}
catch (ex) {
    console.log('could not connect!', ex.message);
}

You can also use .then() .catch() approach:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/playground', { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
.then(() => console.log('connection successful...')
.catch(ex => console.log('could not connect!', ex);

Let us know!

hi maverick, thank you for your reply. I used then and catch as the video demonstrated. Here is what I have in the code when using Mongoose 5.0.1

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/playground')
    .then(() => console.log('Connected...'))
    .catch(err => console.error('Cound not connect...', err))

Then changed it to

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/playground', {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true})
    .then(() => console.log('Connected...'))
    .catch(err => console.error('Cound not connect...', err))

when I upgrade to 6.8.2.

The output I posted above came from the these code.

Oh wait!

use this string for db connection url:

mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/playground

I am 90% sure it will work. :sweat_smile:

I tried it yesterday according to another post I found here, but didn’t work. Somehow I tried it again today and it worked. Thank you!

For anyone with the same problem in the future, in Mongoose 6.8.2, this code works without any error and warning

mongoose.set('strictQuery', false)

mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/playground')
    .then(() => console.log('Connected...'))
    .catch(err => console.error('Cound not connect...', err))
