I'm doing API with the node and using Mongoose. When I give a yarn dev to start my Nodemon, there is an error in Mongo, I have no idea how to solve this. Would anyone have any ideas? (I'm using the MongoDB Atlas database)

Right after the following error.

yarn run v1.22.5
$ nodemon src/server.js
[nodemon] 2.0.7
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching path(s): *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,mjs,json
[nodemon] starting `node src/server.js`

(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
(node:752) DeprecationWarning: Listening to events on the Db class has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.

I'm using the

  • Node v14.15.4
  • npm 6.14.10

My package.json

{
  "name": "backend",
  "version": "1.0.0",

  "license": "MIT",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon src/server.js"

}

Just found this, warning can be ignored it will be fixed in the coming updates

Hi All,

Thanks for reporting! I hit the issue myself today while I was working. I checked in with the Node driver team. The warning is safe to ignore and will hopefully be gone in an upcoming release.
