Invalid mongo configuration, either uri or host/port/credentials must be specified

Question

I'm getting this exception :

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Invalid mongo configuration, either uri or host/port/credentials must be specified

Here is my application.yml content :

spring:
  data:
    mongodb:
      uri: mongodb://develop:d3VeL0p$@<my_host>:27017/SHAM

Here is my configuration class :

package com.me.service.testservice.config;

import com.mongodb.MongoClient;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.config.EnableMongoRepositories;

@Configuration
@EnableMongoRepositories(basePackages = {"com.me.service.testservice.repository"}, considerNestedRepositories = true)
public class SpringMongoConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() throws Exception {
        return new MongoTemplate(new MongoClient("<my_host>"), "SHAM");
    }
}

Now I'm getting this stack trace when starting without failing, it looks like user develop doesn't have the right to connect:

Solution 1

You are mixing the uri style connection settings with the individual properties style settings.

Either use

spring:
    data:
        mongodb:
            host: localhost
            port: 27017
            database: SHAM_TEST 
            username: develop
            password: pass

Or

spring:
    data:
        mongodb:
            uri:mongodb://develop:pass@localhost:27017/SHAM_TEST

Solution 2

If your project has more then one application.properties/application.yml file, sometime they both conflicts if one has URI and other has Host/Port/Credential.

This result in the error "Invalid mongo configuration, either uri or host/port/credentials must be specified"

To Avoid the conflict, make sure you either use URI or Host/Port/Credential in all.

Solution 3

The issue was authentication-database was missing.

Here is now the working configuration :

spring:
  data:
    mongodb:
      host: <my_host>
      username: develop
      password: d3VeL0p$
      port: 27017
      database: SHAM
      repositories:
        enabled: true
      authentication-database: admin

Solution 4

If you are using application.properties file to store your configuration, Use the following structure.

spring.data.mongodb.host = localhost
spring.data.mongodb.port = 27017
spring.data.mongodb.database = SHAM_TEST
spring.data.mongodb.username = develop
spring.data.mongodb.password = pass
