javascript - Cannot connect to MongoDB because of wrong URI

Question

I was trying to run mongoDB on node server Full Code here from MongoDB:

My mongo version: 4.4.3

Node version: v15.7.0

I've imported get started code from MongoDB, and here's the code:

const { MongoClient } = require("mongodb");
// Connection URI
const uri =
  "mongodb+srv://sample-hostname:27017/?poolSize=20&writeConcern=majority";
// Create a new MongoClient
const client = new MongoClient(uri);
async function run() {
  try {
    // Connect the client to the server
    await client.connect();
    // Establish and verify connection
    await client.db("admin").command({ ping: 1 });
    console.log("Connected successfully to server");
  } finally {
    // Ensures that the client will close when you finish/error
    await client.close();
  }
}
run().catch(console.dir);

On terminal, when i run "node app.js", it throws me following error:

Answer 1

The error Accessing non-existent property 'MongoError' of > module exports inside circular dependency is caused by a bug in mongodb 3.6.4

It's already reported here

Back to version 3.6.3 works for me:

npm uninstall mongodb --save

Install version 3.6.3
