Select either namespace or database to use about surrealdb.node HOT 4 OPEN

I also encountered the same error and solved it this way

first create database with surreal cli

to connect via rocksdb file you should create database with surreal cli once (for creating the root user)

surreal start --user $USERNAME --pass $PASSWORD file:database.db --auth

then sign in with the namespace and database

await db.connect(options.url)
await db.signin({
  namespace: 'root',
  database: 'root',
  username: options.username,
  password: options.password,
})

from surrealdb.node.

Encounter the same error.

Thanks for sharing this possible workaround, haven't had the time to try it out yet, it's also a little inconvenient on deploys, hmm could be able to throw the CLI call into the Dockerfile and then have NodeJS connect to that I suppose 🤔

from surrealdb.node.

await db.signin({
  namespace: 'root',
  database: 'root',
  username: options.username,
  password: options.password,
})

Thank you. The key to the solution for me was the property names namespace and database. In various parts of the documentation, they are referenced as NS, DB, ns and db. But changing them to the fully spelled out versions like you described worked for me.
