I can help you with your MongoDB connection issue in Prisma. The error you're experiencing is likely related to how Prisma connects to MongoDB databases.
There are a few common issues when connecting to a local MongoDB instance with Prisma:
1. Authentication requirements: When connecting to a local MongoDB instance, you often need to specify the authentication source, even if you don't have a username and password set up.
2. Replica set requirement: Prisma requires MongoDB to be set up as a replica set, which is not the default for local MongoDB installations.
3. Connection string format: The format of your connection string might need adjustments.
Try modifying your connection string to include the authentication source:
Note that I corrected the port to 27017, which is MongoDB's default port (your string had 2174).
If you still encounter issues, you might need to:
1. Set up a local MongoDB replica set, which is required by Prisma as mentioned in the MongoDB guides.
2. Consider using MongoDB Atlas for development, which is already configured as a replica set and works well with Prisma.
3. Check for any special characters in your connection string that might need escaping.
If you're getting a specific error message like "SCRAM failure: Authentication failed", try adding
?authSource=admin to your connection string as suggested in the Prisma documentation.

What error do you get?
Does your local mongodb instance have replicas configured?
