  • 0

Using Robotframework 2.6.3 and the python database library, I want to connect to MySql Database.

I have downloaded the DatabaseLibrary and MySQLdb however when I try to connect using:

Library DatabaseLibrary

DatabaseLibrary.Connect To Database MySQLdb cts1    root    password  172.16.7.20

I get the following error, when I run this using pybot:

OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on '172.16.7.20' (10061)")

Note:
cts1 – is the DB name and 172.16.7.20 – is the IP address of DB.

This works when I use mysql under the command prompt. Why would it not be able to connect?

    The issue was I did not provide any PORT into robotframework and it does not correctly use the default port of 3306. Once I put the port in, it worked.
