I have a problem with my code I used this code in 
app.js:

```
const mongoose = require('mongoose'); 
const dotenv = require('dotenv'); 
dotenv.config()

  mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URL) 
.then(() => console.log("DB connected!"));

    mongoose.connection.on('error',function(err){   
console.log("The error is: ");
});

```

env.txt:

```
MONGO_URL=mongodb+srv://blur:blur@nodeapi-pfnvf8.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true
PORT:8080

```

and for some reason it's giving me this weird error:

```
throw new MongooseError('The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a ' +
    ^ MongooseError: The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to `mongoose.connect()` or `mongoose.createConnection()` is a string.
