Chapter 2 - IDE Space - unable to run the quiz

[CD_Barnard]

The IDE space is not accepting any entries other than ‘help’. I have no problem connecting using mongosh or Compass and can run the quiz questions, but using the inbuilt IDE - nothing works.

There is also a secondary problem that the “run” button is not rendered properly (in other words it is off the bottom of the screen) if the webpage is full screen.

I enter
mongodb+srv://m001-student:@sandbox.oekla.mongodb.net/test (or database or admin) and the result is:

bash: mongodb+srv://m001-student:@sandbox.oekla.mongodb.net/test: No such file or directory

If I type the command – use sample_training I get No such file or directory.

As I wrote above, I can access and run the quiz questions via Compass and mongosh just not on the lesson webpage.

Very frustrating for a beginner.

Before anyone points out, I have entered the password after the user name, I didn’t realise that less than and greater than signs are treated as HTML, so of course the words - ‘my password’ were removed after I pressed enter.

Hi @CD_Barnard,

Welcome to the MongoDB Community forums

mongodb+srv://m001-student:@sandbox.oekla.mongodb.net/test

As per your shared command, it doesn’t seem to be in the correct format for the shell/terminal/IDE interface. Yes, it will work on the compass because it’s a GUI interface and on mongosh but on shell/terminal/IDE you need to specify which command you are trying to interact with within your installed system softwares.

The correct command format will be as shown below:

mongosh mongodb+srv://m001-student:@sandbox.oekla.mongodb.net/test

Could you please zoom out your web browser using CTRL/CMD - to make it visible and accessible on your screen?

I hope it helps! In case you have any doubts, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thanks,

Thank you for the reply. Adding mongosh to the command worked.
