Getting a "Database connection [mysql] not configured" error

[ghost]

When attempting to install the laravel-ray package, I get this error: "Database connection [mysql] not configured". This is presumably because I don't actually have a connection named "mysql" in config/database.php.

There is a simple workaround for me: if I simply copy and paste of one of my other connections arrays in database.php, and rename the copy to "mysql", the laravel-ray package installs and works just fine. But having to have the extra array in databases.php that does nothing except allow me to use Ray seems like a bug? If not a bug, then an inconvenience?

Versions

Ray version: 1.14.7.0 spatie/ray package version: 1.17.1 spatie/laravel-ray package version: 1.21.2 PHP version: 7.4.8 Laravel version: 8.35.1

To Reproduce

1. Rename the 'mysql' array in config/database.php to 'mysql-test'
2. Rename any references to the 'mysql' connection in the app to 'mysql-test'
3. Attempt to install laravel-ray

Expected behavior

I would expect laravel-ray to install and work without the existence of a config/database.php connection named 'mysql'

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10

• Version 20H2

  Additional context

This is not a showstopping bug at all! It's just unexpected and a minor inconvenience. But I thought it was worth reporting.

Could you post the error that you saw (maybe use "Share" on the exception page, and paste the link here)

Similar issue here, in our project we even dont use any Database, but getting "Database (homestead) does not exist. (SQL: PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;)" after Ray install.

in my case i found a solution for exact same problem, i use multiple-database connections without default "mysql"-connection! in my config/queue.php at last lines i found this default content:

'failed' => [
        'driver' => env('QUEUE_FAILED_DRIVER', 'database-uuids'),
        'database' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'), // <-- here is not configured named connection
        'table' => 'failed_jobs',
    ],

the error is sometimes shown in my batch jobs when failed jobs appear. i just fixed this config with my correct database-connection-name.

just a hint, search for missing connection-names in /config and /app folder

What I did was go to config/database.php copied my mysql DB connection info, pasted it below it and renmaed that section.

I could have just renamed the mysql driver section to system, but im only playing with it right now and being lazy,.

In my case php artisan config:clear solved the issue

In my case, I could not even run php artisan config:clear, without getting error.

Deleting bootstrap\cache\config.php file solved the issue
