SSL settings not persisting in compass favorites about compass HOT 19 CLOSED

I'm on 1.38.2 and I have the same issue with password - it disappears from saved connection after compass restart.

from compass.

i found the reason, the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is not set, or its set to something like Hyprland (in my case) so to this work you need to set it as GNOME or other acceptable that you can find the list here

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/nix/xdg_util.cc;l=146-169

and for electron specific (the case of mongo)

electron/electron#32598

electron/electron#32598 (comment) the comment for the savior

you just need the keyring or wallet or any polkit for this passwords to be runing

TL/DR:
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP='GNOME' mongodb-compass
fixes the issue

The ssh tunnel settings as well, so basically none of the fields in More options are saved

I can confirm this under 1.20.5 and OS X, and it did work in an older version before, but I'm not sure in which version. How can we help fix this? Does anyone know when / where it was taken out?

from compass.

I'm on version 1.41 and the password is still not being saved.

@frederickferby Thanks for pinging us on this. We were able to reproduce, looks like #3263 should fix it. We'll have that in the next Compass release.

I've the same problem with the Password field, it doesn't get saved in favs

from compass.

All the favorites are saving as a connection string. Even when I set the fields individually it returns to connection string when opened.

Pinging folks that have commented: @Kadrian @JasonDepp @Tofandel @antpaw @mshedsilegx
We've just released a new version of Compass, v1.31.0, with a number of improvements for connectivity and how we build, save, and load connections. This issue with settings not persisting should be fixed with the changes.

Feel free to reopen if you update and it's still happening. Sorry for the long turnaround on this, it took us a while to rebuild up this experience to be more reliable and streamlined. Thanks for reporting the issue and trying out Compass!

I have version 1.32.2 and I'm having the same issue. It refuses to save the favorite if I have SSL configuration in the connection string.

from compass.

@frederickferby Does it give you an error? What is the configuration you're using?

from compass.

I'm authenticating with X.509. I turn on SSL/TLS, and choose my cert file. That's all.
It doesn't throw any errors, it just doesn't save the connection.
I tried creating a new one and save it as favorite, but then it doesn't appear in the favorites.
I also tried modifying an existing one, and saving the changes. But when I go back, the previous string appears, not the new one that I saved.

from compass.

@federicobaier Can you check if you're using any unescaped characters in the connection string? This might be caused by the issue mentioned in: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/COMPASS-5745 where we fail to load connections with unescaped characters in their connection strings. It's an issue we'd like to get a fix out for sooner.

from compass.

No, I don't see any unescaped characters. This is the connection string (without the cluster domain):

mongodb+srv://here.goes.the.cluster.domain/?authSource=%24external&authMechanism=MONGODB-X509&retryWrites=true&w=majority&tls=true&tlsCertificateKeyFile=%2FUsers%2Ffedebaier%2Fdev%2Fcerts%2Fdb-cert.pem

The connection works fine, it just doesn't save it as favorite.

from compass.

Thanks @Anemy! Looking forward for the fix.
