ERROR: Invalid string length on Linux
mshepanski-nasuni opened this issue · comments
When trying to query a MySQL Bugzilla DB from the Linux build, I can connect, but them an unable to perform any queries and simply see this error message on the screen: "ERROR: Invalid string length"

For what it's worth: Using the debug tools, I can see that the query request is completing successfully and returning the data, just not getting displayed to the table.
My guess would be that the table attach_data contains a column whose type the mysql driver for node can't parse.
Is there an option or way to not perform that initial query by default?
No, there isn't. I guess that you're hitting issue #264 (we should've prioritised this issue
If you're familiar with building electron apps, as a temporary fix, you could edit these lines and customise the initial query for mysql and build Falcon locally.
Thanks, I was looking for this portion of the code when I opened the bug. If I feel adventurous, I'll try committing a pull request in the next few days. -- Feel free to dupe this bug to #264 if you want to keep things clean.
We have some instructions on how to build Falcon in https://github.com/plotly/falcon/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md but they really need updating.
The main point you need to be aware of is that Falcon can be built as an electron app or as a node backend. The instructions to build and run the electron app are:
yarn install
yarn rebuild:modules:electron
yarn build
yarn run
Feel free to open an issue if you need help building the app.
Closing in favour of #264.
