heroku build failed. “mongoUrl”://“mongodb…” syntax error and more

Question

I must admit, I'm quite a beginner in programming. I'm doing an online course where I want to connect an api using heroku and mongodb. I think I've got some problems following the instructions because the video is older than the current state of heroku and mongodb. I managed to git push heroku master but when I got to heroku and start the app it says an error occured. Then I ran heroku logs --tail , I checked my build and this showed

FYI this index.js file looks like this import mongodb from 'mongodb'; export default { // "port": 3005, // "mongoUrl": "mongodb://localhost:27017/chat-api", "port": process.env.PORT, "mongoUrl": "mongodb://esteP:<**********>@chattychatchat-shard-00-00-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-01-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-02-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017/test?ssl=true&replicaSet=chattychatchat-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true&w=majority", "bodyLimit": "100kb" } this import mongodb from 'mongodb'; export default { // "port": 3005, // "mongoUrl": "mongodb://localhost:27017/chat-api", "port": process.env.PORT, "mongoUrl": "mongodb://esteP:<**********>@chattychatchat-shard-00-00-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-01-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-02-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017/test?ssl=true&replicaSet=chattychatchat-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true&w=majority", "bodyLimit": "100kb" }

I don't understand most of these errors, except for the syntax error, but I don't know where is the problem. Thanks for all the help you can give to this noob:)

Answer 1

Try to edit src/config/index.js and change this:

"mongoUrl": mongodb://esteP:<CEpalacios2019>@chattychatchat-shard-00-00-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-01-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-02-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017/test?ssl=true&replicaSet=chattychatchat-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true&m=majority

to this:

"mongoUrl": "mongodb://esteP:<CEpalacios2019>@chattychatchat-shard-00-00-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-01-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017,chattychatchat-shard-00-02-6ydjb.mongodb.net:27017/test?ssl=true&replicaSet=chattychatchat-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true&m=majority"
