Mongoose error with Buffering timeout when seeding database

[GregPetropoulos]

When seeding the database running the npm run data:import command , an error surfaced MongooseError: Operation orders.deleteMany() buffering timed out after 10000ms.

The fix is I added await before the connectDB() function call in seeder.js

[HridoyHazard]

this is the only solution?

this is unneccesary since connectDB already awaits in the definition... see backend/config/db.js

I came across this issue as well when trying to seed data in local Mongo. I'm looking for an answer as well.

TBH don't know how it works for you

await connectDB();
^^^^^

SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and the top level bodies of modules
