Connection Settings do not save after upgrading from v6.2.4 -> v6.2.5

System information:

• Operating system (distribution) and version: Arch Linux
• DBeaver version: 6.2.5
• Additional extensions

Connection specification:

• Database name and version: MySQL 5.*
• Driver name: JDBC
• Do you use tunnels or proxies (SSH, SOCKS, etc)? SSH tunnel

Describe the problem you’re observing:

After upgrading DBeaver from v6.2.4 to v6.2.5 (by downloading the latest .tar.gz and replacing the contents of /usr/share/dbeaver), any edits to the connection settings do not persist between DBeaver restarts. For example, I can rename or edit a connection host and it will save for the duration of the DBeaver session, but when closing and re-opening the program, the settings revert to what they were prior to the edit.

Note that I have used this upgrade method for 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.2.0, 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3, and 6.2.4 and never experienced this issue.

Steps to reproduce, if exist:

1. Have existing connection settings from DBeaver 6.2.4
2. Edit connection setting (e.g. rename or change host)
3. Save edit
4. Restart DBeaver 6.2.5

Looks like this was caused by the existence of a .data-sources.json.bak file (according to Java error in ~/.local/share/.DBeaverData/workspace6/.metadata/dbeaver-debug.log)

The fix for this issue:

rm ~/.local/share/.DBeaverData/workspace6/<project name>/.dbeaver/.data-sources.json.bak

@charukiewicz Thanks!

I had exactly the same problem on my Mac, and this helped me solve the problem. Some minor differences: location of the file was: ~/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/.data-sources.json.bak

So, on Mac, please do rm ~/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/.data-sources.json.bak.
