Current behavior

[ERROR] Error: ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

for this DATABASE_URL: mysql://root:@localhost:3306/samsxci

What would cause the above issue ?

( however, no issues with another db url. )

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 8.0.13 for osx10.12 on x86_64 (Homebrew)

Expected behavior

should connect just fine. Just running the db-migrate check command

Environment

  db-migrate: '^0.11.5',
  db-migrate-mysql: '^1.1.10',
  mysql2: '^1.6.4',

Additional information:

Node version: v10.15.0 ( also tried v6.9.1)

@danielb2 I was able to work around this with https://stackoverflow.com/a/50547109/122868 which means I updated the root account password using the command in the link:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password'

According to that link on another answer, MySQL v8 changes the default password hash and I would guess the command above makes it use the old (compatible) hashing function.
