ah! I think this means that the server cannot connect to a running instance of MongoDb 💡 

// server.js
MongoClient.connect(
  mongoUrl,
  function(err, db) {
    var users = db.collection('users')

let's try a 

brew upgrade mongodb

brew services stop mongodb

brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
brew services start mongodb-community

upgrading our mongodb nodejs dependency and fixing the errors as I go:

This issue can be fixed in this way, if you have modified your MongoDB model you need to create a new collection. because in the previous collection there is not created any new field and you may be still referencing that one. therefore this error TypeError: Cannot read property 'collection' of null

muhrizmrz commented 1 year ago

Hey, how to create a new collection.I mean it is creating new collection.

curran commented 1 year ago

@muhrizmrz Are you trying to spin up an instance of Blockbuilder?
