[FIXED] Can't connect MongoDB Atlas cluster to a Spring boot app

Issue

When trying to just make sure the connect is working, this error arises.

Error that pops up

This is the connect string, Connection string

This is my aapp.properties,

spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb+srv://jamescervamtes:[email protected]/TheShop
spring.data.mongodb.database=TheShop

I tried everything, and I am just expecting for the app to bee runnning showing me the connect to mongo is made and successful

EDIT:

This is the atlas UI

Atlas Ui

Solution

Your connection URL isn't the same as what is listed in the atlas console.

Try setting your properties to this:

spring:
  data:
    mongodb:
      uri: mongodb+srv://theshop.rmeawrn.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority
      username: <username>
      password: <password>
      database: TheShop

Also, I don't see anywhere in the atlas connection string that references the database. Are you certain that the database (TheShop) exists on this atlas cluster?
