Description

I'm trying to load the project locally using the Docker command, when trying to connect to my local MySQL 8 database I get the following error:

Runtime Error
Cube.js was unable to connect to the specified database.

The database returned the following error:


>Database Error

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

It seems to me that the client used by Cube does not support MySQL 8 authentication method.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the MySQL user authentication method. If using MySQL 8, change the authentication plugin to mysql native password for the user, or update the MySQL client library to support caching sha2 password. Alternatively, set the default authentication plugin in MySQL config to mysql native password.
