URL: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/14381
# Thanks to @AbhishekTaparia for finding out the issue 👏🏻
## Environment
- Grails 4.0.4
- GORM 7.0.6
- GORM MongoDB 7.0.1
## Problem
We were recently trying to connect to a remote MongoDB instance (hosted on
MongoDB Atlas) and we configured the app with the following config in
`application.groovy` (shows fake credentials)-
```groovy
String mongoDBUsername = "root"
String mongoDBPassword = "67ERH@45hu12"
String mongoDBName = "myFirstDatabase"
String mongoDBHost = "example-development.garhn.mongodb.net"
grails {
mongodb {
url =
"mongodb+srv://${mongoDBUsername}:${mongoDBPassword}@${mongoDBHost}/${mongoDBName}?retryWrites"
+
"=true&w=majority"
}
}
```
When we ran the app using `./gradlew bootRun` the app started properly and a
few domain instances created properly (which we defined in `Bootstrap.groovy`).
But when we got to see in the MongoDB Atlas (both using their console and
`mongo shell`, we were not finding the collection and any document created.
After 4-5 hours of debugging, we got to know that somehow the Grails is
skipping the configuration and connecting to the local instance of MongoDB with
`test` database.
Further investigation leads us to the solution that since the password was
having `@`, it needs to be URL encoded-
```groovy
String mongoDBPassword = URLEncoder.encode("67ERH@45hu12", "UTF-8")
```
So when we changed our line as above, the app connected properly to the
remote MongoDB host.
## Actual Behaviour
The app silently ignores the error and connects to the `test` database in
local MongoDB instance.
## Expected Behaviour
The app startup should fail and correct errors should be shown.

## Additional Info 1
After upgrading Grails to `4.0.9` to and GORM to `7.0.8`, the silent
connection to the database does not work instead the app startup freezes and
the app never bootstraps.
