Does anyone know what the error means? I have my app on Node.js and my database on Atlas. When I try to deploy it on Heroku I get this error message in the logs :

TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of null at parseSrvConnectionString (/app/node_modules/mongodb/lib/core/uri_parser.js:40:23) at parseConnectionString (/app/node_modules/mongodb/lib/core/uri_parser.js:556:12) at connect (/app/node_modules/mongodb/lib/operations/connect.js:272:3)

    }
    connect() {

            if (err) throw err
            this.client = client;

        });

const db = new Database(); db.connect(); console.log(db); module.exports = db;

I got the same problem and solved it by not storing the complete string of the mongo Uri in the .env file. instead, I only Stored the user and the password

./config.env

DB_USER=youruser
DB_PASS=yourpassword

./app.js

mongoose.connect(`mongodb+srv://${process.env.DB_USER}:${process.env.DB_PASS}@cluster0.pm4ek.gcp.mongodb.net/CommentsDB?retryWrites=true&w=majority`)

The error goes when I remove the quotes from the DB_URL in Heroku var config, but now it brings me an other error, which is :

I was facing the same problem and this link helped me to solve the error.

TLDR; You should remove double quote on your mongo URI config var
