Also npm install does not exit with error code to identify that an issue exist.

Is there any relation with: https://github.com/nodkz/mongodb-memory-server/issues/204

Do you know why it happenes?

no

[hasezoey]

@strimpak it has nothing todo with #204, because that issue was about when starting the instance that it couldnt find OpenSSL 3 (probably having OpenSSL 4 installed)

this issue is about your requested version combination

i assume that you request the default version 4.0.3 for debian buster (debian10)?
when yes, an build for 4.0.3 dosnt exist for debian10 you will need to request 4.2.1+ (reference search for debian10-)

[strimpak]

Hi @hasezoey

adding this in package.json:

  "config": {
    "mongodbMemoryServer": {
      "version": "latest"
    }
  },

fixes this issue even in 6.3.3 but I stack in getConnectionString():

let mongoServer: MongoMemoryServer;
async function initializeMongo(): Promise<string> {
  mongoServer = new MongoMemoryServer();
  return await mongoServer.getConnectionString();
}

[hasezoey]

@strimpak yes latest is an valid version

could you provide the debug log? (https://github.com/nodkz/mongodb-memory-server#enable-debug-mode)

[strimpak]

running apt-get install libcurl4 solves the issues

[hasezoey]

@strimpak be careful, you cant have 3 and 4 installed at the same time, but if you havnt any, then good that it is fixed :+1:

---

@strimpak as an final question, was it infinitely running or did it exit when the error occured? (the nodejs process)

[strimpak]

@hasezoey you made me feel worried about libcurl3-gnutls

Before installing:

root@061f42c5387c:/# dpkg -l | grep libcurl
ii  libcurl3-gnutls:amd64         7.64.0-4+deb10u1            amd64        easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (GnuTLS flavour)
root@061f42c5387c:/#

After installing the libcurl4:

root@4ffaf5073597:/app# dpkg -l | grep libcurl
ii  libcurl3-gnutls:amd64         7.64.0-4+deb10u1            amd64        easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (GnuTLS flavour)
ii  libcurl4:amd64                7.64.0-4+deb10u1            amd64        easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (OpenSSL flavour)

@hasezoey on your question we had a mocha timeout on 10 secs which returned, otherwise it would run infinitely.

[hasezoey]

thanks for letting me know, i still try to pin down where this "infinitely running" issue is

[strimpak]

@hasezoey could you please elaborate a bit more on your statement be careful, you cant have 3 and 4 installed at the same time

[hasezoey]

@strimpak i had the problem where i had an application that needed libcurl4, and mongodb wanted libcurl3, and i couldnt have them installed at the same time (maybe i just took the wrong bin of mongodb at that time)

[gregbacchus]

This problem is easily reproduced in the docker image node:14-buster just by running npm i mongodb-memory-server

[hasezoey]

closing because original issue got solved (4.0.3 not available for debian10)

-> in next major version it will be changed to latest / at least an newer version
