NitrousIO mongodb always connecting to "test" db

I'm trying to setup mongodb on my nitrousio nodejs box. Following this tutorial.

When I finish executing this command,

mongo --shell --host $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_HOST --port $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_PORT 
-u $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_USERNAME -p $MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_PASSWORD 
$MONGODB_DEVELOPMENT_DB

This happens,

Even though my MONGO_DEVELOPMENT_DB environment variable is set to pest, it tries to connect to test. Not only pest, if I try to connect to any of my DB instances, it always tries to connect to test.

Any idea as to what could be going wrong?

Solution

  • Ok, terminated the box and created a new one, that fixed it. Guess I messed up the env. variables in my first attempt. Works just fine now.
