Sequelize ORM: How to connect to MYSQL on localhost, using the 'host' property?

I'm trying to connect to my local MYSQL(ran by XAMPP) through Sequelize:



const sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.MYSQL_DB, 'root', '', {
host: process.env.CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL,
dialect: 'mysql',
logging: false
});


The process.env.CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL variable is set to "localhost", just like the documentation says(i'm using this specific variable because i want to deploy to Heroku later)



I'm getting the following error:




getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND localhost'; localhost';:3306




The process.env.MYSQL_DB variable is just the name of my database.



It all worked when i was using the "short way" to connect:



var sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.MYSQL_DB , "root", "", {
dialect:'mysql',
logging: false
});


Can someone tell me what might be wrong with my setup?



EDIT: if anybody is interested, the problem was that i put a semicolon after the variable deceleration in my .env file.......

  • Check the quotes of the environment variable CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL. You can see it by typing console.log(process.env).
