DataApiBuilderException while trying to run swa start

Question

I'm trying to follow the instructions present in this tutorial but I'm getting an error when trying to run swa start

swa start src --api-location api --data-api-location swa-db-connections

Everything was working fine before I tried to implement Cosmos DB, so, if I run the command without the --data-api-location swa-db-connections part, everything works fine.

I'm getting the following output:

• deleting everything from my database and creating again
• deleting every file associated with the tutorial and creating again

I followed this Document for creating this project and I got the output when I run this command

swa start ./src --data-api-location swa-db-connections

Output :

Azure Cosmosdb :

Make sure Cosmosdb Connectionstring is present in
.env file :
