mongodb didn't start

[fayaz07]

Hi, I was trying to implement CI for our repository I used mongodb action provided by you, thanks for that.

But the issue is, the mongodb is not running and the tests failed.

@fayaz07 Hey Mohammad, can you please help me to debug your situation.

How do you connect to the MongoDB instance in GitHub actions? How does your GitHub action configuration look like?

[fayaz07]

@marcuspoehls Hi Marcus, thank you for your quick response. I assume this MongoDB action will setup and run the db on port 27017. But when I ran the workflow, that didn't run the db. So I tried to run MongoDB instance as daemon by this command

mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongod.log

I have uploaded the error screenshot here, please check it

[marcuspoehls]

@fayaz07 This actions starts MongoDB in a docker container. MongoDB is then available on localhost:27017.

Is your app not connecting to MongoDB? What errors are you seeing using this MongoDB GitHub action?

[fayaz07]

It's setting up perfectly no issue with that, but my application is unable to connect to it. It throws timeout exception as the db isn't running

[marcuspoehls]

@fayaz07 Can you please share more details about your application? Is it Node.js with Mongoose?

[fayaz07]

Node.js rest api mongodb driver - mongoose running tests with mocha

[marcuspoehls]

is it related to https://github.com/supercharge/mongodb-github-action/issues/10? Are you using a replica set in your tests?

[fayaz07]

no, I guess I am not using them. I can share you the workflow in sometime

[fayaz07]

Unfortunately I used, replica-sets which was the reason why db didn't start, I removed the replica sets and it fixed the issue. Thanks @marcuspoehls
