node.js - Fail to connect Mongoose to Atlas

Question

I'm always connecting to the "admin" DB, which is a fixed bug.

Using Mongoose 5.0.6 MongoDb 3.6 and trying to connect to Atlas.

1. My question, what driver Mongoose 5.0.6 depend on?
2. How can I find out when Mongoose will have that fix?
3. On a different direction, is there a way to connect with MongoDB then use this connection with Mongoose?

Cheers

Answer 1

Basically you should try connecting with your url link, and specify the DB name on the mongoose connect method so if your cluster link is:

mongodb+srv://userName:Passwrod@clustor.mongodb.net/

and your DB name is:

testDB

then you should call the mongoose.connect method as follows:

mongoose.connect('mongodb+srv://userName:Passwrod@cluster.mongodb.net/', {dbName: 'testDB'});
