Configurate database connection (APP created with Genie)

General Usage
, ,
1

I bootstrapped an APP using Genie.
I chose the MySQL DB.
I edited the db/connection.yml file as required:

env: ENV["GENIE_ENV"]

  dev:
  adapter: MySQL
  database: db
  host: localhost
  username: felipe 
  password: **********
  port: 3306
  config:

but when I try to manually load the database configuration include(joinpath("config","initializers","searchlight.jl")) I have an error:

┌ Error: SystemError("opening file \"db/connection.yml\"", 2, nothing)
└ @ Main /home/felipe/Documents/julia/Genie/watchtonight/config/initializers/searchlight.jl:11

What is wrong with my configuration?

What does pwd() show you?

show: “/home/felipe/Documents/julia/Genie”

then I tried:

include("/home/felipe/Documents/julia/Genie/watchtonight/config/initializers/searchlight.jl")

then, the same error occurred.

But you see watchtonight was missing in your first attempt? The error

Error: SystemError("opening file \"db/connection.yml\"", 2, nothing)

furthermore indicates a sub directory named db is still missing?

The sub directory db is not missing.
When I call the file .../searchlight.jl it call another file named .../db/connection.yml.

Oh, OK. Maybe we should look into searchlight.jl then?

7

the content of the file searchlight.jl is:

using SearchLight

try
  SearchLight.Configuration.load()

  if SearchLight.config.db_config_settings["adapter"] !== nothing
    eval(Meta.parse("using SearchLight$(SearchLight.config.db_config_settings["adapter"])"))
    SearchLight.connect()
  end
catch ex
  @error ex
end

Thanks. I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine the environment this eval is running in… ;(

@goerch, i solved the problem.
I bootstrapped the APP again and changed localhost to 127.0.0.1

env: ENV["GENIE_ENV"]

dev:
  adapter: MySQL
  database: db
  host: 127.0.0.1
  username: felipe 
  password: ********** 
  port: 3306
  config:

Thank you for your attention
