MariaDB build error with Xenial

Travis CI Discussions & Feedback
1

I think something may have broken or changed with regards to how MariaDB is configured for Xenial.

Passing from yesterday: https://travis-ci.org/coleifer/peewee/jobs/523551111

Erroring from today: https://travis-ci.org/coleifer/peewee/jobs/524146594

Today the following line from my config is failing (only in Xenial):

mysql -e 'grant all on *.* to travis@localhost;'

ERROR 1133 (28000) at line 1: Can't find any matching row in the user table

Yesterday this line did not produce any issues in either trusty or xenial.

Weā€™re seeing the following errors today after the same builds ran successfully yesterday:

ā€œAccess denied for user ā€˜travisā€™@ā€˜localhostā€™ (using password: NO)ā€

As an experiment, I modified my setup script so that the failure of this particular command would not cause the whole build to error. After doing this:

"Access denied for user 'travis'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"

So, if I try to do the GRANT it errors. If I try to omit the GRANT it fails.

How is this the same problem or even related?

MariaDB 10.3 seems to be installing just fine on Xenial, from what I can see?

I was able to fix it for us be removing and re-adding the travis user for mariadb.

Thanks @dkliban - that worked for me as well.

Diff of my travis config:

+  - mysql -e 'drop user if exists travis@localhost;'
+  - mysql -e 'create user travis@localhost;'
   - mysql -e 'drop database if exists peewee_test;'
   - mysql -e 'create database peewee_test;'
   - mysql -e 'grant all on *.* to travis@localhost;' || true

Be nice if the travis folks could comment hereā€¦ this was fairly disruptive and I have no idea how to debug it or even report the issueā€¦ now that theyā€™ve closed their fucking issue tracker and force everyone onto here.

You can always inspect existing server configuration with things like show grants.

Judging by https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-build/blob/master/lib/travis/build/addons/mariadb.rb#L31 , Travis installs MariaDB with apt-get install -y -o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confnew' mariadb-server mariadb-server-<version>", so its configuration should be whatever dpkg creates by default.

MariaDB 10.4 changes authentication so it does not work on Travis like 10.3 didā€¦

jobs:
  include:
    - addons:
        mariadb: 10.3
    - addons:
        mariadb: 10.4
install: mysql -e "SET Password=PASSWORD('travis')"
script: mysql --version

MariaDB 10.3 works but 10.4 generates:

ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
The command "mysql -e "SET Password=PASSWORD('travis')"" failed and exited with 1 during .

Solved by adding sudo to the install command.
