On Linux I'm seeing with RMariaDB:
Error: Failed to connect: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I wonder why mysql commands work, wouldn't they also use the socket by default? Is the socket in a different location?
Per https://mariadb.com/kb/en/missing-mysqldsock-file/#comment_165, do we need
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
?
No, the path exists.
Hmm, the installation should be pretty standard. It looks like the socket is at /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock.
mysql -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%socket%'"
Variable_name Value
performance_schema_max_socket_classes 10
performance_schema_max_socket_instances -1
socket /run/mysqld/mysqld.sockhttps://github.com/ankane/setup-mariadb/runs/1484303215?check_suite_focus=true
Just updated the tests to print the socket location for each platform and version: https://github.com/ankane/setup-mariadb/actions/runs/395356603
One more thing: the workers on Linux already have MySQL installed, could that be a source for conflicts?
Connection worked in RMariaDB when I used the builtin MySQL and enabled the service. I'm still confused why things seem to work when running mysql -e --protocol socket .
MySQL is automatically removed when MariaDB is installed and vice versa.
It looks like your test suite is reinstalling MySQL in the "Install system dependencies" step.
