MongoDB doesnt’ work after update to macOS Catalina 10.15

catalina

I recently installed macOS Catalina 10.15 Beta 1. Now, when I try to launch my MongoDB application by running:

> mongod

I get the following error:

enter image description here

I have attempted to go to Security & Privacy and hit the Open Anyway button, but I get the same error.

Any thoughts on how to launch the application from the command line?

Throw away your installation (saving any database files you need / export them) and then install the version from https://brew.sh

brew install mongodb
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

You should be able to get v4.0.3 running without error and then compare if your distribution is compatible or needs adjustment if you can't use the mainline version for macOS.

Installing the program from the command line bypasses the gatekeeper checks and such and might be easier while the beta is new.
