hey guys, im still blocking when trying to deploy on render working in the stevdza-san' courses:
the console says:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: getenv(...) must not be null
May 29 11:19:13 AM	at com.exxample.kobweb.data.MongoDB.<init>(MongoDB.kt:36)
May 29 11:19:13 AM	at com.exxample.kobweb.data.MongoDBKt.initMongoDB(MongoDB.kt:

Any idea? Has anyone had the same experience?? thanks

The error seems fairly clear: you have a MongoDB constructor that requires an environment variable, and you didn't provide it.

What are you trying to do? What were you expecting?

[Eduardo Ruesta]

im setting the variable here! here you have more context: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C04RTD72RQ8/p1716910081587279 in another thread i started yesterday

Maybe a typo in the environment variable name?

[CLOVIS]

You can use printenv on the command line to see what environment variables exist.

Or,

System.getenv().forEach { println("Environment: ${it.key}: ${it.value}") }

[Eduardo Ruesta]

and wehere i can see the logs? is any way to run this locally? or in the render console i can see it too?

[CLOVIS]

No idea, I don't use Render
