FAQ

When I open the MongoDB Side Panel it shows empty

We are aware of a bug in Skiko, the rendering library used by Desktop Compose that doesn't fall back to software rendering when a GPU accelerated driver is not available. This should be fixed in version 0.1.0 so please update the plugin to the latest available version in the Marketplace.

If you are in the latest version, and it doesn't work for you, do the following:

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA
2. Go to the main menu and select Help | Edit Custom VM Options
3. Add the following line to the end of the file: -Dskiko.renderApi=SOFTWARE
4. Save the file and restart IntelliJ IDEA

The MongoDB Side Panel feels slow

It might be related to using the software renderer in Skiko. To confirm this situation:

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA
2. Go to the main menu and select Help | Show log in Files
3. Open the idea.log
4. Search the following string: Could not use GPU accelerated rendering
5. If it's there, Skiko is using your CPU to render instead of the GPU.

In case the log line is not there, please share the entire log file in a bug report.

My query is not picked up by the plugin

The plugin doesn't support yet all the possible query variants. Notable unsupported features are:

• Atlas Search and Atlas Vector Search queries
• $lookup queries
• $text queries

In case you think we should prioritise your query, or it's a bug, please fill a bug report with a sample query.
