Errors connecting in first section, not finding fixtures

I’m trying to get the first unit test, the one on connection running.
When I run pytest -m connection from the mflix-python directory, this is the result.
Would you know what’s going on?

Hey @krithravi,

Welcome to MongoDB community forums!

From the error statements, it seems there could some error in your .ini file because of which it is you are unable to connect. Kindly recheck your file as well as please ensure proper permissions are in place in your Atlas. Do make sure to read the instructions of the lab to make sure everything is properly written in the .ini file.

I also know it’s been a super late reply and so if the problem has been resolved, do post to let us know what worked for you! This will certainly help other learners who may get the same error as you.

Regards,
Satyam
