MongoDB never responds but accepts connections

Question

So in node I have:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/master');
let db = mongoose.connection();
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function() {
  // we're connected!
  console.log('conn');
});

But nothing ever prints out and if I try and query the db from node it hangs forever without errors. I can open mongo shell fine and create a new collection, insert items, etc.

And this is the log for Mongo:

Try using `let db = mongoose.connection;` instead. – JohnnyHK Dec 02 '16 at 04:08 — JohnnyHK, Dec 02 '16 at 04:08

Try to do:

  this.connection = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://localhost:27017', { server: { reconnectTries: Number.MAX_VALUE } });

However, you then have to create models in a different way. Have a look here

Still nothing. I also tried just cloning the repo [here](http://theholmesoffice.com/mongoose-connection-best-practice/) and running it but no luck - same issue. – FergusThePlant Dec 04 '16 at 23:14

Fixed this by uninstalling and reinstalling node and mongodb with brew and then rebooting and reinstalling (make sure to delete node_modules in project repository and reinstall)
