What does this failure involving mysql on Mac mean? Question

+3
−0

I had to reinstall mysql on my Mac, and after some thrashing I was able to again connect to my Qpixel database from the command line. The data is as expected, so it appears that mysql itself is ok. Specifically, this worked (connection command and data validation):

$ mysql -u root -p qpixel_dev

mysql> select count(id) from users;
+-----------+
| count(id) |
+-----------+
|         9 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

When I run the Qpixel server I get this error:

$ rails s
/Users/cellio/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.0.6/gems/mysql2-0.5.4/lib/mysql2.rb:36:in `require': dlopen(/Users/cellio/.rvm/gems/ruby-3.0.6/gems/mysql2-0.5.4/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle, 0x0009): Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib (LoadError)

And the rest of the stack trace in case it's helpful:

I tried reverting Gemfile to the version before a recent Dependabot update, just in case, and that didn't make a difference. Rails seems to be complaining about a gem named mysql2-0.5.4, which has been in Gemfile for more than a year.

I haven't changed Ruby version since the last code change that required it (a long time ago). rvm does not seem to know about a newer version (for the Mac) than 3.0.6, what I'm using.

I'm stumped. How do I diagnose this and fix or work around it? This is for my development environment, not a production system. I've had to locally edit Gemfile before, so local overrides are ok if needed. But I don't know where I need to poke at what.

To narrow things down, could you show the command you used for this?

Added, thanks. (Also, thanks for reminding me that text is a valid option for code fences. I tried bash but that didn't change the highlighting that was showing up in the output.)

You're welcome. I think text is actually invalid, but the response to an invalid language choice is to apply no syntax highlighting, which is what I want.

I did also try bash first, and it changed a few subtle things but still had so much inconsistency that I thought plain text would be easier to read. I think bash can work for commands when there is no output, but output is arbitrary text and not valid bash syntax, so breaks the syntax highlighting.
