you are likely using the mongoose client incorrectly, please see the docs - https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/mongoose.html#Mongoose.prototype.connect()
you probably want to be specifying the database name as
options.dbName -- not in the url...11 Replies

Mongoose?
Sorry i thought it got deleted. yes, moongose
what error are you getting
errorResponse: {
ok: 0,
errmsg: 'Authentication failed.',
code: 18,
codeName: 'AuthenticationFailed'
},
ok: 0,
code: 18,
codeName: 'AuthenticationFailed',
connectionGeneration: 0,
[Symbol(errorLabels)]: Set(2) { 'HandshakeError', 'ResetPool' }
that's when using the public one on my own machine (works without the db name chained and just goes to test) i'm not sure that was the exact same error the internal one was omitting, ive settled on just using the test db, but kinda anoyying

options.dbName -- not in the urlIll give it a shot, it's just that it always worked for me using atlas with mongoose and is a mongo thing
as far as I know, specifying the database in the url is Atlas specific
yeah that works, probably did a really bad job searching google for that "problem"
thank you
no problem!
