Go Mongo DB doesn't connect - mongodb

Question

I'm trying to connect to my mongo db atlas database, but I'm getting an error that I can't solve it within mongo+go forums.
The code:
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"time"
"fmt"
"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo"
"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/options"
"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/readpref"
"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
)
func main(){
client, err := mongo.NewClient(options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://my-user:<my-pass>#datalake0-lesz0.a.query.mongodb.net/my-db?ssl=true&authSource=admin"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
ctx, _ := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second)
err = client.Connect(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer client.Disconnect(ctx)
err = client.Ping(ctx, readpref.Primary())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
databases, err := client.ListDatabaseNames(ctx, bson.M{})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(databases)
}
The error:
connection() error occured during connection handshake: auth error: sasl conversation error: unable to authenticate using mechanism "SCRAM-SHA-1": (AuthenticationFailed) authentication failed, correlationID = 167bc5ba18415510a4144b7a
exit status 1

Answer 1

If the URI in the connect string is verbatim, then this is your problem:
mongodb://my-user:<my-pass> is incorrect, <my-pass> should be substituted with your password
You've probably cut and pasted the provided URI on completion of DB setup but this connect string does not include items like your password, also you gave my-user which, unless you set up the username my-user that also needs changing.
