I'm always connecting to the "admin" DB, which is a fixed bug.

Using Mongoose 5.0.6 MongoDb 3.6 and trying to connect to Atlas.

  1. My question, what driver Mongoose 5.0.6 depend on?
  2. How can I find out when Mongoose will have that fix?
  3. On a different direction, is there a way to connect with MongoDB then use this connection with Mongoose?

Cheers

Basically you should try connecting with your url link, and specify the DB name on the mongoose connect method so if your cluster link is: 

mongodb+srv://userName:[email protected]/

and your DB name is: 

testDB

then you should call the mongoose.connect method as follows:

mongoose.connect('mongodb+srv://userName:[email protected]/', {dbName: 'testDB'});
