Im training right now in nodejs and how to develop MVC applications using nodejs and expressjs as a framework. I have a TDD approach along with the Model and View classes written along with TDD test scripts. I have a mongodb test script and it fails with the the following error message:
expressjs_multech_project mul$ jasmine-node ./tests
.......F
Failures:
1) MongoDB is there a server running?
Message:
Expected { } to be null.
Stacktrace:
Error: Expected { } to be null.

Im using Jasmine for node as a test package and all other tests pass with just the model and view classes written. I don't understand why my mongodb TDD script fails on mongodb and when I npm start, it does not start returning the app.js error message of:
> node app.js
Sorry, the server (mongodb) is not running
I researched back the stack trace and from what I can see, there is no connection been made with mongodb and its returning null. I checked mongodb to make sure its there:
Johns-MacBook-Pro:expressjs_multech_project mul$ npm list mongodb
multechanalytics@0.0.1 /Users/.../expressjs_multech_project
└── mongodb@1.3.10
I have tried allot of remedies but nothing to date is working. Any ideas on resolving the connection issue with the server so I can proceed with this expressjs MVC training project?
my config/index.js looks like this:
var config = {
local: {
mode: 'local',
port: 3000,
mongo: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 27017
}
},
staging: {
mode: 'staging',
port: 4000,
mongo: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 27017
}
},
production: {
mode: 'production',
port: 5000,
mongo: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 27017
}
}
}
module.exports = function(mode) {
//export module configuration making it available to all files in folder
return config[mode || process.argv[2] || 'local'] || config.local;
Here is the ouputs I got when I augmented the package.json file and npm install mongodb --save to run the install mongo after npm install
muls-MacBook-Pro:expressjs_multech_project jmulhall$ npm install mongodb --save
