mongo url parser fails

[MemoryChips]

When I try to use a mongo url of the form

mongodb+srv://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<MY_ATLAS_CONNECTION>/test?retryWrites=true

the url parser fails and returns a url object of null. The above format is what mongo Atlas uses to connect to their mongo servers. This error crashes the server. The error occurs whether I escape the characters in the url or not. I am able to connect using my url in my other programs.

{
  "name": "mongo",
  "connector": "mongodb",
  "url": "mongodb+srv://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<MY_ATLAS_CONNECTION>/test?retryWrites=true",
  "database": "test",
  "useNewUrlParser": true
}

Please fix this or verify that your url parser works correctly.

@MemoryChips, I believe this is related to this on-going PR: loopbackio/loopback-connector-mongodb#497.

If it is, can we close this issue as the duplicate of loopbackio/loopback-connector-mongodb#496? Thanks.

@MemoryChips, we've landed the community PR for adding support for mongodb+srv. See PR
loopbackio/loopback-connector-mongodb#497
As a result, I'm going to close this issue as resolved. Thanks.
