Hi @Ramone_Granston,

Welcome to the MongoDB Community forums

Typos are a possible reason for this error.

• Be sure to check you wrote spring-boot and not e.g. springboot or sprint-boot or springbok or whatever.

• Also check the ordering : use spring-boot:run and not run:spring-boot .

If you have any doubts, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thanks,

Hi @Ramone_Granston,

I suspect that the pom.xml file is not in the current running directory, please make sure you run the maven command from the same directory where pom.xml file is present.

Also, if you can please share the pom.xml file with us and also share the steps that how you created your pom.xml file and which dependencies you added to that.

Thanks,
Kushagra

Hi @Ramone_Granston,

The error says that databaseName doesn’t contain " [double quotes], kindly update the MongoDB Driver via driver settings (it’s in Data Sources and Drivers) and try again.

Thanks,
