error when I try to start the app from Heroku

[dallli92]

Hello , please I need help , because I can go further in the Kotlin course,
In fact, after I followed all the steps exactly as mentionned by JohnnyB, when I want to start the app in Heroku I get this erro , (I am using the free way, without a credit card )

Application error
An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. You can do this from the Heroku CLI with the command
heroku logs --tail

[sahilsaini65]

I am getting the same error too. The problem seems to be related to the URL starting with "mongodb+srv". Also, I am using Mongo DB Atlas for the database as we can no longer create a mongodb account..

[smitaerande]

Same error for me as well. Please help to resolve.
Getting Application error after successful deployment.

[duchuy-13]

hey, I just found a solution

update version your mongodb package on package.json
"mongoose": "5.8.3",
"passport-local-mongoose": "5.0.0",
"mongodb-core": "3.2.7"

Also remember to add this ip config network access on your Mongo DB Atlas: "0.0.0.0/0".
No special character (#,%...) on your account password for access database
Deploy again and it will work perfectly.

There are syntax errors in this JSON file, double quotes are not escaped on lines 11 and 16.

Line 11 should be:

    "dev": "NODE_ENV=development nodemon -w src --exec \"babel-node src --presets es2015,stage-0\"",

Line 16 should be:

    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"

I think your problem is this:

2021-02-04T13:52:39.821782+00:00 app[web.1]: MongooseError: The uri parameter to openUri() must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to mongoose.connect() or mongoose.createConnection() is a string.

Make sure you supply the (correct) connection string to your MongoDB. Do a search for mongoUrl and see what it is being set to.

While I seriously helping you trying to help me out, I got new error. I think this time it is saying my password have an un-escaped character ? I copy pasted auto generated password from atlas.

Just make sure that your connection string follows the format described here

There's a note about special characters.

[SumukhaK]

Hey, thanks a million. I did 2 changes and i honestly dont know which one fixed my issue.
Change 1 : adding { useNewUrlParser: true },{ useMongoClient: true } in connect method.

mongoose.connect(config.mongoUrl, { useNewUrlParser: true },{ useMongoClient: true },function (err, database) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
process.exit(1);
}
console.log(config.mongoUrl);
// Save database object from the callback for reuse.
db = database;
console.log("Database connection ready");
callback(db);
});

change 2 : added ' ' to my password in my URL like this example (username and password are not mine, its some random sample text):

"mongoUrl": "mongodb+srv://imUser:<'AbCd6Fc499Hi'>@mongodbtest.yxsef.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority",

[SumukhaK]

Well now i have a different problem altogether. i have my api url taken from heroku>settings>you app can be found at and hit it with register api via postman, only to get 404 in response and this is what heroku application log says:

at=info method=POST path="/v1/account/register" host=herokumongodbsmackchatterchat.herokuapp.com request_id=ad176ee8-bdbe-42a7-8efa-62999f65186c fwd="123.777.777.777" dyno=web.1 connect=0ms service=65ms status=404 bytes=403 protocol=https

[tromgy]

Something must be wrong with your Heroku settings. If you just go to the base url of your app in a browser, you should see this:

{"message":"Chat API is ALIVE!"}

but when I went to your base url: https://herokumongodbsmackchatterchat.herokuapp.com, I got 404 and a stock Heroku page "There's nothing here, yet"

I couldn't find anywhere in the chat API where it would respond with 404, so it must be some configuration issue with your Heroku account.
