pscale shell is throwing an authentication error

[BlakeBrown]

I get the following error on a fresh planetscale database with the latest CLI version (0.209) and latest mysql-client (9.0.1).

ERROR 2059 (HY000): Authentication plugin 'mysql_native_password' cannot be loaded: dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/9.0.1/lib/plugin/mysql_native_password.so, 0x0002): tried: '/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/9.0.1/lib/plugin/mysql_native_password.so' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/9.0.1/lib/plugin/mysql_native_password.so' (no such file), '/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/9.0.1/lib/plugin/mysql_native_password.so' (no such file)

Any help? select version() in TablePlus gives me 8.0.34-Vitess

Thanks for mentioning this. PlanetScale databases are running a fork of MySQL 8.0, I don't think we're compatible with the MySQL 9 client.

If you're using Homebrew, I think the latest package that will work is [email protected]. You'll probably also need to add the 8.4 client to your PATH as described in the post-install instructions:

[email protected] is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.

If you need to have [email protected] first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

I'll get the pscale readme updated as well.

Since planetscale/cli#919 landed, the CLI should also with when using MySQL 9.
