I wasn't able to save connections but as mentioned by @wcasanova, installing gnome-keyring resolved the issue.

(I'm on KDE)

@davc0n org.freedesktop.secrets is needed, but kwallet doesn't support it yet, as an alternative to gnome-keyring use keepassxc

I have the problem with the persisted connection and favorites , but solved installing gnome-keyring https://github.com/mongodb-js/compass/issues/1911

Connections and favorites aren't persisted here as well (KDE Plasma 5.18, not sure if that matters though).

Could be a mongodb thing introduced in version 1.20.0, see changelog: https://github.com/mongodb-js/compass/releases/tag/v1.20.0

Downgrade to 1.19.12 solved the problem.

EDIT: Re-updated today to 1.20.5, with gnome-keyring installed looks like recent connections and favorites are persisted

@ael After some more testing it looks like gnome-keyring is only required for the first launch, if you uninstall it afterwards, Compass keeps working. I've also discovered that Compass is actually open source (https://github.com/mongodb-js/compass/), so I'll be working on making this a package that builds from the source and transfer the current packages to mongodb-compass-*-bin.

Connection settings are not persisted between launches of the software, even favorites. Anyone else has this issue? Could be a mongodb-compass thing.

@ael I don't think that's the case, because I don't have gnome-keyring installed on my system and I don't get stuck on the loading screen. Maybe it could be caused by something down the gnome-keyring dependency tree actually being required to run this. Can you uninstall gnome-keyring (with -s to uninstall dependencies that are no longer required by anything) and run the following script to check if some of the gnome-keyring dependencies present on my system are missing on yours?

If you get stuck on loading screen or "Running Migrations" be sure that you have installed the optional dependency "gnome-keyring". As simple as "sudo pacman -S gnome-keyring".

Still infinitely loading for me. I'll just stick with robo3t.
