Hey, I found the temporary solution.

  1. Go to Edit → Preference
  2. Select Tools → IntelliShell → Select 3rd option ( Use mongo and mongosh from Path env)

But the correct is issue I reported earlier is bug regarding the bundling issue or permission issue for mongosh and mongo shell

Using this option does open the shell for me, but it’s not fully working: table display is messy and edit, view, delete buttons are missing:

Strange, I haven’t faced this issue. Maybe it’s related to the view. You can try changing the Table View to Tree View or JSON view and see if it’s working or not.
