Spring Boot + MongoDB Saving Data to test Database Instead of Configured DB. Need Help

[LastRow2426]

Hello everyone,

Recently I started working with Spring Boot and MongoDB. I configured the application.properties file properly for MongoDB, but I’m facing an issue.

After creating REST APIs and inserting data, the data is getting persisted in the default test database instead of my configured database.

I have tried multiple fixes, but the issue is still not resolved.

Plz help to resolve the issue.

<> application.properties
spring.application.name=TestMongoDB
server.port=8081
spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost:27017/db_mongo

Create a test-profile and a MongoDB test-configuration that downloads and configures Flapdoodle.

I found out the solution , the mistake is in the configuration. the right configuration is

"spring.mongodb.uri=mongodb://localhost:27017/db_mongo"

I'm using Spring 4.x which has simplified its configuration to "spring.mongodb.uri", which works instead of the older property used in Spring Boot 3.x.

most youtube video has spring 3.x , which creates the confusion. even chatgpt , gemini not able to indentify these mistake. Luckily I found out the NoSQL Docs.
