escaping path fot config file? at MongoDB Compass for Linux

Other MongoDB Topics Open Source Projects

Hi.

I’ve install MongoDB Compass via AUR in Arch Linux and started the app but has no luck and just a white screen comes up.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mongodb-compass

It seems the install version is 1.46.6.

I’ve looked at the application log and found below.

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/tokifujp/.config/MongoDB Compass/AppPreferences/General.json'

it seems that the app is escaping by the space in the directory name “MongoDB Compass” in my console also says the same.

$ ll /home/tokifujp/.config/MongoDB Compass/AppPreferences/General.json
"/home/tokifujp/.config/MongoDB": No such file or directory (os error 2)
"Compass/AppPreferences/General.json": No such file or directory (os error 2)

$ ll /home/tokifujp/.config/MongoDB\ Compass/AppPreferences/General.json
.rw-r--r-- 2.0k tokifujp  1 Aug 10:02  '/home/tokifujp/.config/MongoDB Compass/AppPreferences'/General.json

I suspect you require backslash to use this path?
So my query is how can I change the config directory path?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
