[SOLVED] "mongooseUri" must be a valid uri

Update:

Looks like a problem with another npm module.


Attempting to connect to a MongoDB set, but getting message that the URI is invalid.

[Error [ValidationError]: "mongooseUri" must be a valid uri] {
  _original: {
    mongooseOptions: { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true },
    mongooseUri: 'mongodb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@lin-aaaa-xxxx.servers.linodedb.net:27017,lin-bbbb-yyyy.servers.linodedb.net:27017,lin-cccc-zzzz.servers.linodedb.net:27017/DATABASE?replicaSet=RS-abdc-99&ssl=true'
  },
  details: [
    {
      message: '"mongooseUri" must be a valid uri',
      path: [ 'mongooseUri' ],
      type: 'string.uri',
      context: {
        label: 'mongooseUri',
        value: 'mongodb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@lin-aaaa-xxxx.servers.linodedb.net:27017,lin-bbbb-yyyy.servers.linodedb.net:27017,lin-cccc-zzzz.servers.linodedb.net:27017/DATABASE?replicaSet=RS-abdc-99&ssl=true',
        key: 'mongooseUri'
      }
    }
  ]
}

The username/password/database don't contain any special characters. I didn't see anything reported with Mongoose. The format is a valid MongoDB connection string, so I'm at a loss. Any thoughts?

Comma (,) is an invalid character in URIs. It appears that your use of it is as a continuation character. I suggest you crack open your trusty python manual and see what the approved continuation character for multiline strings is.

I don't know anything about python…I've only inferred this from the data you posted. I could be way out in the weeds…

You're reading the code block wrong. Those are single-quoted strings, and the markdown style is line-breaking on the , for display. I'm not doing that.

All I know is what I see. Looks like you're back to square one… Thanks for the clarification.
