Describe the Bug

Changing DATABASE_URI to PAYLOAD_DATABASE_URI

Then providing it to db: mongooseAdapter({ url: process.env.PAYLOAD_DATABASE_URI }),.

Results in the string not being used but instead DATABASE_URI MUST be provided under that name.

To Reproduce

Set PAYLOAD_DATABASE_URI and pass to mongooseAdapter.

I was able to swap these values in the config and .env without issue. Could you provide a repo that reproduces this issue?

[mryellow]

Maybe it's when using the dev version of the admin UI. Seeing I was unable to run build:payload.

Perhaps in that situation it uses a payload which has DATABASE_URI coded somewhere?

There is no DATABASE_URI hard-coded in the admin UI. We'll need more information about what you're trying to accomplish, and which errors you're seeing, with a reproducable repository in order to help here.

In the meantime, I will convert this to a discussion and we can continue to help there. If you do end up creating a repro, we'd be happy to look at it!

I really dislike having reported issues swept aside like this.

Then leave the issue open and ask for the details.

Having closed the issue. I am unlikely to be motivated to contribute further.

We try and reserve GitHub issues on the Payload repo to only contain reproducible bugs so that our team can focus our efforts. Converting to a discussion is not meant to be sweeping it aside - rather, I just put this question where it belongs as it was not reproducible and I am quite certain that there is no hard-coded reference to DATABASE_URI.

We have lots of projects that do not use this environment variable naming convention and they all work fine.

To help here, I need to further understand what you're trying to do, and from there I would be happy to continue looking into this.

If this is indeed an issue and we can reproduce it, then I will happily keep it open as a GitHub issue until it's resolved!

I won't be digging any deeper without an issue to report against.

The DATABASE_URI is hard-coded in the dev version of the admin. Providing a new URI to the adaptor does not function.

This is likely a bug.
