Error: Status Code is 403 (MongoDB's 404) This means that the requested version-platform combination dosnt exist

Question

beforeAll(async () => {
    mongo = new MongoMemoryServer();
    const mongoURI = await mongo.getConnectionString();

    await mongoose.connect(mongoURI, {
        useNewUrlParser: true,
        useUnifiedTopology: true
    });
});

For some reason mongodb-memory-server, doesn't work and it seems that it's because it's downloading mongodb for some reason? Wasn't mongodb supposed to be included with the package, what is the package downloading? How do we prevent mongodb-memory-server from downloading everytime I use it? Is there a way to make it work as it's intended?

Answer 1

Seems you have the same issue like I have had.

https://github.com/nodkz/mongodb-memory-server/issues/316

Specify binary version in package.json E.g:

"config": {
    "mongodbMemoryServer": {
      "version": "latest"
    }
  },

I hope it helps.

Answer 2

For me, "latest" (as in accepted answer) did not work, the latest current version "4.4.1" worked:

  "config": {
        "mongodbMemoryServer": {
          "version": "4.4.1"
        }
      }
