app.use(session({

        resave: true,
        secret: config.sessionSecret,
        store: new MongoStore({

Finally I got where error occurred!! I post this answer because of it may will help others.

Problem occurred when update mongoose and connect-mongo version.

need to update:

MongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session)

and 

app.use(session({
        saveUninitialized: true,
        resave: true,
        secret: config.sessionSecret,
        store: new MongoStore({
            mongooseConnection: db.connection,
            collection: config.sessionCollection
        })
    }));

main problem was in MongoStore({db: db.connection.db instead of use 

db: db.connection.db

now using

mongooseConnection: db.connection

that solved my problem :)

As I did not have a db variable, my solution was:

var mongoStore = require('connect-mongo')(session);
var mongoose = require('mongoose');

const connection = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://localhost/chester');

app.use(session({
    secret: config.secrets.session,
    resave: true,
    saveUninitialized: true,
    store: new mongoStore({mongooseConnection: connection})
  }));

hope it helps
