Pls find the code snippet and error below at end will discuss the issue

// go.mod

module hello

go 1.21.4

require go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver v1.13.1

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo"
	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/options"
)

func main() {
	// MongoDB connection string (replace with your actual connection string)
	connectionString := "mongodb://localhost:27017/test"

	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 20*time.Second)
	defer cancel()

	// Connect to MongoDB
	client, err := mongo.Connect(ctx, options.Client().ApplyURI(connectionString))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error connecting to MongoDB:", err)
		return
	}
	defer func() {
		if err := client.Disconnect(ctx); err != nil {
			fmt.Println("Error disconnecting from MongoDB:", err)
		}
	}()

	// Ping the MongoDB server to verify the connection
	err = client.Ping(ctx, nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error pinging MongoDB:", err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println("Connected to MongoDB!")
	// Now you can use the 'client' to interact with the MongoDB database
}

console output for above code is

Expected output : it should establish connection with my mongodb instance having version 4+ . but thowing above issue.Help me in resolving this issue.

Try to send &ctx (as pointer to ctx).

That’s a weird compilation failure, none of those context.Context values should be pointers. It’s possible your Go module cache is corrupted somehow. I recommend cleaning your Go module cache and then try building your program again.

To clean the Go module cache:

go clean -modcache

Let me know if that fixes the compilation failures!
