Hello everyone, facing the exact same issue here:

[SandboxUnhandledError] Cannot find module ‘mongodb@3.1.4’
Require stack: - /data/io/node18/5777205b-486a-478a-a40a-e11cbb127480/webtask.js

I tried the alternatives mentioned above but none of them work for my case as well. Is there any updates ?

Hi @marialena @buddhins @taitheexplore,

The issue seems related to the version of NodeJS you are running in your tenant (you can check your version here: https://manage.auth0.com/#/tenant/advanced).

The following versions of mongodb drivers are available for the following NodeJS versions:

  • NodeJS 18
    • 5.1.0
    • 5.7.0
  • NodeJS 16
    • 3.5.11
    • 3.1.4
    • 2.1.11

If you want to check other packages or other versions of node, please check out the following page:

https://auth0-extensions.github.io/canirequire/

By adjusting the right mongo driver to match your tenant’s NodeJS version your issue gets fixed.

Thanks

Thank you @bajcmartinez . Error fixed. In my tenant, it used Node 18, then I changed it to NodeJS 16 and import mongodb version 4.1.0 version (const MongoClient = require(‘mongodb@4.1.0’).MongoClient;). Now it works without any error.

That’s great @buddhins, thanks for replying back with the confirmation. I’ll make changes on the article so that this topic is address.

Have a great day!

Posting this information everywhere that I see Node 18 and people rolling back to 16.

Auth0 Engineering replied to my inquiry and responded with this:

To use version 5 of the mongo driver, you should update your script to use promises. Here’s an example get_user script you can reference.

function getByEmail(email, callback) {
  const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
  const client = new MongoClient(configuration.URL);
  
  (async () => {
    try {
      await client.connect();
      
      const db = client.db(configuration.DB);
      const users = db.collection('users');
      
      const user = await users.findOne({ email: email });
      if (!user) return callback(null, null);
      
      return callback(null, {
        user_id: user._id.toString(),
        nickname: user.nickname,
        email: user.email
      });
    } catch(e) {
      return callback(e);
    } finally {
      await client.close();
    }
  })();
}

I can confirm this works and fixes the problem. I’m able to use latest Mongo 5.x client and Node 18.
