load() function isn't working on Windows

My seed.js folder is in the same directory as the bin folder. I am assured of this when i run ls(). However when I run the load command, i get this:

load('./seed.js') 2018-11-08T12:44:00.070+0100 E QUERY [js] SyntaxError: illegal character @(shell):1:6

I have tried using double quotation marks also, but I get the same thing.

Any ideas?

Hi Ivan,

My load() function was not working either. It turns out that I named my db I found this post that fixed it, however.

When I followed the video to create the db, I created it as mongobasics instead of mongoBasics like it is in the seed file. I changed the seed file to match my database, and it worked!

Hope this helps
