Description

🐞 Describe the bug

i'm using my default connection to my replicated instance of mongo db. The url is:

mongodb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@MONGO1_URL:27017,MONGO2_URL:27017,MONGO3_URL:27017/ackee?authSource=admin&authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1

with MONGO1_URL, MONGO2_URL, MONGO3_URL fql names of the mongodb servers (that is currently used from many apps as mongodb uri),

but when the container start, it crash with:

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]: Invalid URL: ........

and the error shows the desidered uri

it seems a valid url, accepted from mongodb spec, what is wrong? it seems an issue

the mongodb spec is:

mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,...hostN[:portN]][/[defaultauthdb][?options]]

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how Ackee parses the MongoDB connection string. The error suggests the Node.js URL parser fails on the replica set format (comma separated hosts). Look for code that constructs or validates the MongoDB URI, possibly using the `url` module. Consider using `mongodb uri` package or the official MongoDB driver's URI parsing.
