MyCLI with Git Bash does not work - Win10

[aeimer]

Hi there,

I have python3 installed on my Windows10 computer, furthermore I have installed the current Git (Bash) Version.

I have installed mycli with pip3.exe install mycli on gitbash.

I can call mycli:

$ mycli
(2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' ([WinError 10061] Es konnte keine Verbindung hergestellt werden, da der Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte)")

Ok great, works. I have no mysql running locally.

I can call mycli --help:

$ mycli --help
Usage: mycli [OPTIONS] [DATABASE]

  A MySQL terminal client with auto-completion and syntax highlighting.

  Examples:
    - mycli my_database
    - mycli -u my_user -h my_host.com my_database

Works too.

But now I tried to connect to an public mysql, which just lets me wait (for ever?):

$ mycli mysql://anonymous@ensembldb.ensembl.org:3306

The same command worked on PowerShell:

S C:\Users\Alexander Eimer> mycli mysql://anonymous@ensembldb.ensembl.org:3306

So I think there is assume there is a problem with the GitBash?!

We used to have display problems with git bash, but not connection problems. Are you able to connect with the official mysql client?

[aeimer]

As I wrote, on PowerShell it does work. Not very pretty (there are some display problem too), but it connected.

Here you can see the DB on HeidiSQL (copied the values from this issue):

But what about connecting with mysql under git bash?

[aeimer]

I don't have mysql installed on my local pc

[j-bennet]

Then how about telnet ensembldb.ensembl.org 3306 under git bash? You should see something like this if it connects:

Connected to ensembldb.ebi.ac.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.

I first have activated telnet on my system. Then in my gitbash I get this:

$ /c/Windows/System32/telnet.exe ensembldb.ensembl.org 3306

$ /c/Windows/System32/telnet.exe ensembldb.ensembl.org 3306 ; echo $?
127

$ curl ensembldb.ensembl.org:3306 -s
O?0qjABh▒▒eB["5%Xl6e}dmysql_native_password!▒▒#08S01Got packets out of order

On Powershell telnet works:

PS C:\Users\Alexander Eimer> telnet ensembldb.ensembl.org 3306
J

Verbindung zu Host verloren.
