Next-auth: Mongo Atlas - MongoServerSelectionError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

[chechenev]

Your question

What am I missing using Mongo Atlas?

What are you trying to do

1. I'm trying to use Google auth
2. Whitelisted all IPs on Mongo atlas
3. Using env variable gives me: [next-auth][error][adapter_connection_error] MongoServerSelectionError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND cluster0.bixqg.mongodb.net
4. I tried to do everything from similar issue https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/issues/314 with no success
5. I tried to deploy to vercel to run it not locally - the same result

Feedback
My code:

import NextAuth from 'next-auth'
import Providers from 'next-auth/providers'

const options = {
    // Configure one or more authentication providers
    providers: [
        Providers.Google({
            clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_ID,
            clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_SECRET
        }),
    ],

    database: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
};

export default (req, res) => NextAuth(req, res, options)

I'm having the same problem, everything was working fine last week. I'm not sure why the connection stopped working all of the sudden.

[SelvinM]

The issue seems to be related to typeorm version 0.2.29 according to this https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/7009 .

Adding this to your package.json should fix the issue temporarily until they fix it "resolutions": { "typeorm": "0.2.28" }

Edit: I forgot to mention, this workaround only works if you are using yarn. Otherwise use @unflawed solution instead

[BskSmoothie]

Having same issue and adding "resolutions": { "typeorm": "0.2.28" } to my package.json didnt fix my problem. Any other ideas how to fix it?

Fixed. If you get this, you need to install and import the reflect-metadata package.

1. Install the npm package: npm install typeorm --save
2. You need to install reflect-metadata shim: npm install reflect-metadata --save
3. Import reflect-metadata somewhere in the global place of your app (for example in app.ts):

// _app.ts or _app.js
import "reflect-metadata";
...

Suggest making this clearer in the docs if possible.

Worked for me. Thanks! 👍

Thank you for the updates, linking to the outstanding issue and for a workaround (and confirming it works for you).

I'm going to keep an eye on the open issue with typeorm to see if we will should make a change to address or if it's an issue they plan to address upstream.

I just switched from mLab to Mongo Atlas, and started having the same problem. I found this thread, and switched from "typeorm": "^0.2.29" to "typeorm": "0.2.28" (note the LACK of a caret ^ in the version, to LOCK it to 0.2.28). That seems to have resolved the issue, and I am now able to connect to Mongo Atlas.

If I switch back to 0.2.29 or use any kind of semantic version auto-upgrade option (^ or ~ or .x) in the version, it uses the latest, and also has a problem. Locking the typeorm node module version to 0.2.28 seems to resolve the issue.

[jrista]

FWIW, before I changed the typeorm version down to 0.2.28, I did a bunch of testing elsewhere. All connection strings, mongodb:// and mongo+srv://, worked everywhere else I tested them. The mongo cli, Studio3T, Robo3T, using the node mongodb driver directly, etc.

[IRediTOTO]

Still error, I can't fix this...

[IRediTOTO]

Guys, did you fix it? @jrista
I am using this setup:
database: 'mongodb+srv://usn:[email protected]/myDB',
I'm sure this connect work because I am using next connect, now I want use next-auth....

[IRediTOTO]

fixed by this command npm i [email protected]

[mapsam]

@unflawed your solution worked for me, thanks so much! ❤️

[rajat1saxena]

I had been struggling with this for last five hours or so. @BskSmoothie's solution solved it for me.

Solved for me! Thanks @jrista :)

[dextermb]

@iaincollins Could you pin this issue so it's easier for other mongodb users to find? Thanks! 🎉

Adding the resolution to my package.json resolved the issue for me.

[jrista]

@IRediTOTO I fixed it by falling back to 0.2.28. The issue seems to be with 0.2.29.

What does your database connection object look like as well as URL? Mongodb version? did you use npm or yarn?
I get the following error when using 0.2.28
[next-auth][error][adapter_connection_error] MongoParseError: Invalid connection string

[jrista]

@andrewgwallace I am currently using a mongo:// connection string.

[andrewgwallace]

To resolve for now without any "hackery", simply bypass the string parser's reliance on typeorm in the adapter and construct the object yourself. This way you don't have to install a previous typeorm version, modify your package.json, or include reflect-metadata.

If your string looks like this:
mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster>.yu5ue.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority

In your options for NextAuth, make your database value an object instead of a string. The structure should look as follows:

... database: { type: "mongodb", uri: "mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster>.yu5ue.mongodb.net/<dbname>", w: "majority", useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true, retryWrites: true, },
Important: Note that it says uri and not url.
Obviously it is recommended to store values in .env.local.

Optional values such as synchronize and logger can also be added to the object.

Source of the issue seems to be coming from typeorm config.
Big thanks to Richard Furberg for pointing me in the right direction.

[Furberg]

For whatever reason my comment got lost. Here it is again:

I got this as well while fooling around between two projects. The thing is that I only got it on one of them. The only difference was the connectionstring variable name in the .env.local file. Changing it from MONGODB_URI to DATABASE_URL (and updating all the references, rebuilding etc) made it work again. Not sure why, but worth a try.

Worth mentioning is that I couldn't get the email configuration to work, until I changed it from a string to an object, just as you said about the connection string.

[jrista]

@andrewgwallace Thank you for the update. Sounds like its due to parsing a full string url down into the various connection config parts then...

For my purposes, I don't actually need mongodb+srv. Not at this stage of the project, anyway. So falling back to a mongodb:// url worked ok for me. Good to know that I can use an object for config though.

[AnxiousDarkly]

not sure if I am the only one, but I haven't been able to get it working with any method in this thread so far.

[huksley]

I have same problems and solution suggested by @andrewgwallace does not work for me :(

[unflawed]

@huksley have you tried this?
https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/issues/833#issuecomment-723101500

[huksley]

@unflawed Yes, downgrading to typeorm 0.2.28 and following steps as you suggested https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/issues/833#issuecomment-723101500 fixed problem connecting to MongoDB, thanks 👍

[AnxiousDarkly]

sorry I was wrong, setting a resolutions for typeorm was the only suggestion that worked.

[andrewgwallace]

Yea -- my solution stopped working for me as well. 😭
I reverted to downgrading to typeorm 0.2.28 and the resolutions in my package.json. However now I'm getting
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: no optional dependency [mongodb] defined in peerOptionalDependencies in any package.json
I've also tried the steps recommended in issue https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/issues/552 of NextAuth. I've got a hunch the issue stems from https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/issues/552#issuecomment-671662283 but that's out of the scope of my knowledge on how to resolve beyond what he suggested.

For now, the stability of NextAuth and MongoDB Atlas is not sufficient enough for production use IMO. I'll keep an eye on this and other tickets for progress.

Just going to note current key settings here where I last had it. If someone spots an issue let me know.
Node version: 12.19.0
package.json:

  "dependencies": {
     ...
    "next-auth": "^3.1.0",
    "reflect-metadata": "^0.1.13",
  },
  "optionalDependencies": {
    "mongodb": "^3.6.3"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "typeorm": "0.2.28"
  },

_app.js
import "reflect-metadata";
[...nextauth].js

  database: {
    type: "mongodb",
    uri: process.env.DATABASE_URL, // mongodb+srv://<user>:<pass>@<cluster>.yu5ue.mongodb.net/<db>
    w: "majority",
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    retryWrites: true,
  },

[SelvinM]

@andrewgwallace try changing "optionalDependencies" to "peerOptionalDependencies" in your package.json like so:
"peerOptionalDependencies": { "mongodb": "^3.6.2" }

[andrewgwallace]

Yes that seems to have resolved it! Thank you @SelvinM ! Had to install mongodb as a dependency of course.

[chechenev]

I was able to fix it using the following config in [...nextauth].js:

 database: {
        type: "mongodb",
        useNewUrlParser: true,
        url: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
        ssl: true,
        useUnifiedTopology: true,
        authSource: "admin",
    },

[Diaa-Ghonim]

fixed thanks a lot .

[imgregduh]

This worked for me

// [...nextauth].js
database: process.env.DATABASE_URL,

// .env.local
DATABASE_URL=mongodb+srv://<user>:<password>@<cluster>.mongodb.net/<db>
