I can connect to the DB through terminal, but getting this error using mongoose and gulp. mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/base.js:246 MongoError: auth

Answer 1

just add ?authSource=yourDB&w=1 to end of db url

 mongoose.connect('mongodb://user:password@host/yourDB?authSource=yourDB&w=1')
