Agenda Cannot read property insertOne of undefined - node.js

Question

I am trying to create and schedule jobs with agenda. So i split it into two files, one file the consumer creates jobs and the other file the producer schedules jobs.
this is the consumer file
const Agenda = require("agenda");
async function run() {
try {
const agenda = new Agenda({
db: {
address: process.env.MONGODB_URL,
collection: 'agendaJobs',
options: {
useUnifiedTopology: true
}
}
});
agenda.define('ticket creation', async (job, done) => {
const { time } = job.attrs.data;
console.log(time);
done();
});
agenda.on("ready", function () {
agenda.start();
console.log('Agenda Started');
});
//await agenda.start();
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
process.exit(-1);
}
}
module.exports = {
run: run
};
and the producers file is
//import { default as Agenda } from 'agenda';
const Agenda = require("agenda");
const jobs = async (job) => {
try {
const agenda = new Agenda({
db: {
address: process.env.MONGODB_URL,
collection: 'agendaJobs',
options: {
useUnifiedTopology: true
}
}
});
const created = await agenda.schedule(job.time, 'ticket creation', {
time: job.time
});
return created;
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
process.exit(-1);
}
};
module.exports = jobs;
and this is my controller where i use it
const jobs = require('./producer');
const { run } = require('./consumer');
run();
app.post('/create/job', async (req, res) => {
try {
const { time } = req.body;
await jobs({
time: time
});
return res.status(200).send({
success: true,
message: 'Job created'
});
} catch (error) {
return res.status(error.status).send(error);
}
});
is there anywhere i am wrong, i know this connects to the db
an example of the body sent to the controller
{
"time": "3 minutes"
}
i have used the node debugger to trace the error, it always fails at a line that looks like this, but i don't know what is causing it
yield schedule(this).save()
then shows an error in the terminal saying
TypeError: Cannot read property 'insertOne' of undefined
** The props property of this is always undefined

agenda.on("ready", async () => {
const created = await agenda.schedule(job.time, 'ticket creation', {
