Sigh, once again this quality application fails to function. When I try connecting to mysql on the localhost, I see "Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()", no error on the command line. I seem to remember a similar error from a while back related to a library mismatch, possibly mysql-connector-c++ or something stupid like that. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start mysql workbench 2.try connecting to a server 3.see error message on test connection Portage 2.3.24 (python 2.7.14-final-0,

I strongly suspect that this is related to mysql:5.7 not being in portage... Is it not coming to portage, or was mysql-workbench .9 and .10 released before that ebuild? Regardless, the ebuild should depend on the correct mysql/marina version.
Could you please provide a proper Summary - it should tell everyone what you think is actually wrong.
I don't actually know what is wrong... I think it maybe related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/638558 but I have no idea how.
(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #2) > Could you please provide a proper Summary - it should tell everyone what you > think is actually wrong. This particular piece of software has a stability rate revealing that of KDE/Plasma, which is impressive given its scope... I have no idea what is actually wrong, although I suspect it is somehow related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/638558. As reported, I was unable to locate any obvious error aside from the nondescript error dialog described. This problem does not affect the older versions, rollback seems to work. If you are aware of some output log that may have additional information, please don't hesitate.
I was struggling with this problem for quite a long time. If you don't want to use mysql 5.7 (as Gentoo seems to suggest), you should use mariadb-10.1.*. Any version 10.2.* ends with this problem as far as I remember, so needs to be masked.
Ccing the mysql team since they may know more about these changes and overall compatability issues in Gentoo.
mysql-workbench 8.0.17 (and I assume all 8.x versions) work fine with my connecting to mariadb 10.2.x. mysql-workbench 8.x uses mysql-connector-c++ to connect, so this may be responsible for the fix. Please reopen if this is still an issue with mysql-workbench 8.x.
