Error: Cannot find module '/opt/render/project/src/app.js'

[hiteshmishra2103]

Why is it showing this Error: Cannot find module ‘/opt/render/project/src/app.js’. ?
My package.json file is:
{
“version”: “1.0.0”,
“main”: “app.js”,
“scripts”: {
“start”: “nodemon app.js”
},
“keywords”: ,
“dependencies”: {
“ejs”: “^3.1.6”,
“express”: “^4.17.1”,
“mongodb”: “^4.10.0”
},
“devDependencies”: {
“nodemon”: “^2.0.19”
},
“name”: “blog_project_crud_operations_mongodb”,
“author”: “Hitesh Mishra”,
“description”: “”
}

I am using " npm install " as build command and " node app.js " as start command.

This is my github repo which i want to deploy:
https://github.com/hiteshmishra2103/web-dev/tree/main/blog_project_crud_operations_mongodb

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

If you’re trying to deploy part of a monorepo project, it sounds like you may need to set the “Root Directory” to blog_project_crud_operations_mongodb in the service settings.

Hope that helps

Thank you! It is not showing the previous error but now it is showing this error: UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: MongoAPIError: URI must include hostname, domain name, and tld

However I used this as MONGODB_URI in environment variables mongodb+srv://myaccountname:@mydb.s3umjey.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority

It is still showing the error connecting to db.

This is my database.js

const mongodb = require(“mongodb”);

const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient;

let database;

let mongodbUrl=‘mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017’;

if(process.env.MONGODB_URI){
mongodbUrl=process.env.MONGODB_URI;
}

async function connect() {
const client = await MongoClient.connect(mongodbUrl);
//for establishing the connection to the server as whole

database = client.db(“blog”);
}

The error shows it’s trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017 which is incorrect, you’ll need to ensure your code is reading from the environment variable.

I have added environment variable MONGODB_URI while deploying and this is the code of database.js. Can you please tell where the mistake can be and how can i ensure that my code is reading from the environment variable?

const mongodb = require(“mongodb”);

const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient;

let database;

let mongodbUrl=‘mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017’;

if(process.env.MONGODB_URI){
mongodbUrl=process.env.MONGODB_URI;
}

async function connect() {
const client = await MongoClient.connect(mongodbUrl);
//for establishing the connection to the server as whole

database = client.db(“blog”);
}

It looks like that conditional isn’t overwriting the localhost IP for some reason.

This looks like a code issue and we’re not able to support your code, as every app is different.

Consider adding some debugging/logging to ensure the env var is available and as you expect.
