Question

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

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 the connection error shows:

throw new MongooseError('The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a ' +
    ^
MongooseError: The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to `mongoose.connect()` or `mongoose.createConnection()`is a string.

I am passing a valid String, but Its not working!

const mongoose = require('mongoose');


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



module.exports = {
    mongoose
};

Here is the Script to run mocha:

export NODE_ENV='test' && mocha server/**/*.test.js

Here is the configuration code:

const config = require('./config.json');

const env = process.env.NODE_ENV.toString() || 'development';

if(env === 'test' || env === 'development') {
    const envConfig = config[env];
    Object.keys(envConfig).forEach(key => {
        process.env[key] = envConfig[key];
    });
};

console.log(env);

Here is the config.json file:

{
    "test": {
        "PORT": 3000,
        "MONGODB_URI": "mongodb://localhost:27017/TodoTest"
    },
    "development": {
        "PORT": 3000,
        "MONGODB_URI": "mongodb://localhost:27017/Todo"
    }
}

Thanks for the help!
