handshake event not hit?

[SantoDE]

Hey folks,

I'm currently trying to setup a mysql connection within a grunt task. However, I'm struggling badly and I can't see why.

I'm trying to set it up like this:

var mysql  = require('mysql');  
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host     : grunt.config('db.settings.host'),
    user     : grunt.config('db.settings.user'),
    password : grunt.config('db.settings.password'),
    port : '8889',
    debug: true
});

connection.connect(function(err) {
    if (err) {
        grunt.log.write('error connecting: ' + err.stack);
    return;
    }

    grunt.log.write('connected as id ' + connection.threadId);
});

However, it never hits the connect callback. I debugged trough the modules code and figured, that the "handshake" never get's hit. I'm obviously doing something massively wrong, but I can't see the mistake while comparing it to the examples.

Any help? :)

Cheers!

Ok, looks like it's a problem while running it within grunt. If i run it separately in node, it works fine. Nvm im that case :)
