node.js - database.js: colName.split is not a function

Question

I'm getting an error when I try connecting to my DB from my index.js document (think app.js).

/var/www/HTML/node_modules/mongojs/lib/database.js:65
    var parts = colName.split('.')
                        ^

TypeError: colName.split is not a function

    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:708:14)
    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (internal/modules/run_main.js:60:12)

I can't find anything on this error by Googling, and I don't know where colName is defined, I can't seem to find it.

database.js is obviously a part of the default mongoJS module, but if its broken after a clean install id think someone would've noticed before me, so I'm guessing I've made a mistake somewhere?

Connecting to my DB:

const connectionString = "admin:[email protected]/dbName:27017"; 
const collections = ["users", "inventories"];
const mongojs = require("mongojs");
const db = mongojs(connectionString, [collections])

Then I'm using this to query my DB:

db.users.find({steamid: userSteamId}, function(err, users){
      if(err || !users){
        console.log("No account found, prompt for tradelink to create acct");
      } else users.forEach( function(tradelink){
          console.log(tradelink);
        });
    });

I'm using MongoJS, NodeJS, and Express, on a Ubuntu server, let me know if any more detail is needed.
