mongoose error node_modules error mongodb

Question

I'm just following along with a screen cast verbatim and I'm getting an error in a node modules file, could you help?

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;

mongoose.connect('mongodb//localhost/test');

var productModel = new Schema({
    productId: ObjectId,
    name: String,
    description: String,
    price: Number
});

var Product = mongoose.model('Product', productModel);

var sandal = new Product({
    name: 'sandal',
    description: 'something for your feet',
    price: 12
});

sandal.save(function(err) {
    if (err) console.log(err);

    console.log('sandal created!');
});

Product.find({
    name: 'sandal'
}).exec(function(err, product) {
    if (err) console.log(err);

    console.log(product);
});

and heres error

Answer 1

You're missing a semicolon in your URI

It should be:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');
