error: ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by serv

nodejs连接mysql的时候报这个错误

error: ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

代码

let mysql = require('mysql');

let connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root',
    password: 'xxx',
    database: 'xxx'
});

connection.connect(function(err) {
    if (err) {
      return console.error('error: ' + err.message);
    }

    console.log('Connected to the MySQL server.');
});

原因

导致这个错误的原因是，目前，最新的mysql模块并未完全支持MySQL 8的“caching_sha2_password”加密方式，而“caching_sha2_password”在MySQL 8中是默认的加密方式。

解决办法

mysql> ALTER USER ‘root’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘123456’;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.12 sec)
