process.env.MONGO_URI not working as expected in colyseus social package

[Viveksharma]

I am trying to use colyseus social package and I set MONGO_URI as expected via process.env.MONGO_URI in my index.ts but while colyseus server going to make a connection with mongodb it is getting default value(old value) although process.env.MONGO_URI updated to new value.

I tried to check it in connectDatabase method of index.ts in social module and console like :-

import { MONGO_URI } from "./env";

export async function connectDatabase(cb?: (err: MongoError) => void) {
// skip if already connecting or connected.
if (mongoose.connection.readyState !== 0) {
if (cb) cb(null);
return;
}

try {
    console.log(process.env.MONGO_URI);// getting updated value
    console.log(MONGO_URI);//getting old value
    await mongoose.connect(MONGO_URI, { autoIndex: false, useNewUrlParser: true }, cb);
    debug(`Successfully connected to ${MONGO_URI}`)

    // reconnect if disconnected.
    mongoose.connection.on('disconnected', () => connectDatabase());
} catch (e) {
    console.error('Error connecting to database: ', e);
}

}

Please help it out . Thanks in advance

Hi @Viveksharma, are you setting the MONGO_URI environment variable before importing the @colyseus/social module?

It's usually a good practice to put require('dotenv').config() as the very first line in your server entry file: (using https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv)

Cheers

@endel thanks .I have import @colyseus/social in my index.ts before dotenv
