MongoDB - Error: invalid schema, expected mongodb
This is because you are using the connection string in an improper format.
You are using localhost:27017/db/chat while it should be mongodb://localhost:27017/db/chat
The pattern for the connection string is mongodb://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/<DBNAME>

I just had this issue as well and it was because I had the protocol wrong:
mongo://localhost:27017/testThe protocol being wrong can also cause this error. It should be like this:
mongodb://localhost:27017/test
Sometimes, error might be with the quotes around environment variables. Remove them once and try. Might help.
Error might be with :
set DATABASE_URI='mongodb://localhost:1000/my_app' && node index.jsCorrect command will be:
set DATABASE_URI=mongodb://localhost:1000/my_app && node index.js
