Mongoose connection to replica set

I tried to connect to MongoDB replicaSet via mongoose. I used this link.
Configuration json:

"mongoose": {
   "uri": "mongodb://localhost:27022/chat,localhost:27021,localhost:27020",
   "options": {
       "replset": { "rs_name": "rs0" },
       "server": {
           "poolSize": 3,
           "socketOptions": {
               "keepAlive": 1
           }
       }
    }
}

Mongoose connect:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect(config.get('mongoose:uri'), config.get('mongoose:options'));

And after launching application i got exception:

Error: host must be specified [undefined]

Db: chat, primary server: localhost:27022.

Also I tried remove two other servers (keeping only the primary one in config json) and I saw that it knows about the secondary servers (I used log). I think it's about mongodb meta-data. But when I shutdown primary one, it finished its work (no wonder), I need it so it can use the secondary one instead.
Any ideas?

We use this:

if(config.db.indexOf('replicaSet') > - 1) {
  dbOptions = {
    db: {native_parser: true},
    replset: {
      auto_reconnect:false,
      poolSize: 10,
      socketOptions: {
        keepAlive: 1000,
        connectTimeoutMS: 30000
      }
    },
    server: {
      poolSize: 5,
      socketOptions: {
        keepAlive: 1000,
        connectTimeoutMS: 30000
      }
    }
  };
}

var db = mongoose.connect(config.db, dbOptions);

where

config.db =  'mongodb://USER:PW@host1:port1,host2:port2/DBNAME?replicaSet=RSNAME'

Auto_reconnect is off as per https://team.goodeggs.com/reconnecting-to-mongodb-when-mongoose-connect-fails-at-startup-83ca8496ca02
