Can you folks verify the db name in the connection string is valid one?
The configuration file ships with template db name (MONGODB_URI_LOCAL=mongodb://localhost:27017/<database>). Verify you're on the latest version too and reinstalll NPM deps.
I'll try to review this on the Windows (tried on mac OS)

setting <database> to something like test1 solved my issue

this can be closed, as the same issue can be fixed by replacing the entire <database> with dbname

MONGODB_URI_LOCAL=mongodb://localhost:27017/<database>
MONGODB_URI_LOCAL=mongodb://localhost:27017/dbname

@AudMasiulionis is that OK to close this one?

It would be nice to fix it so it works out of the box but that did fix it for me as @HoseinGhanbari said:

2020-06-04 running on windows with MongoDB installed to run as service, I needed to set the name to: dbname

#MONGODB_URI_LOCAL=mongodb://localhost:27017/
MONGODB_URI_LOCAL=mongodb://localhost:27017/dbname

in TypeScript-Node-Starter.env.example
MONGODB_URI_LOCAL=mongodb://localhost:27017/
edit your dbname

I hit this running an older mongodb driver against a newer mongodb server. Using a new driver fixed the problem.

MongoError: Invalid namespace specified 'mydatabase.system.indexes'
