can't connect using mysql

[stukennedy]

When I attempt to connect I get the following error

db connect { 
  [ORMError: Connection protocol not supported - have you installed the database driver for mysql?]
  message: 'Connection protocol not supported - have you installed the database driver for mysql?',
  code: 4,
  literalCode: 'NO_SUPPORT' 
}

However I've installed the correct driver using

npm install --save mysql@2.0.0-alpha9

Here's my dependencies from package.json

  "dependencies": {
    "eyes": "^0.1.8",
    "lodash": "^4.16.6",
    "moment": "^2.12.0",
    "money": "^0.2.0",
    "mysql": "2.0.0-alpha9",
    "orm": "^3.2.3"
  },

I've tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling all the npm modules, same issue. I'm running this using AWS serverless. Before installing ORM, I was successfully calling this same DB using the mysql module directly.

managed to fix it locally, but not on serverless When I installed the latest version of mysql it started working localled. i.e. don't use mysql@2.0.0-alpha9 as recommended in the wiki

I'm still getting the same error on the server.

I've updated the wiki to use the same versions as in devDependencies in package.json. Does that work for you?

that's great ... I also just figured out my issue. I'm using Webpack to build, and ORM uses mysql driver implicitly. So, I need to import 'mysql' in my source for Webpack to include it in the build. It's installed globally on my local machine when testing, which is why it works there.
