Description adoII 2018-08-20 18:11:46 UTC

I just compiled kmymoney5 and cannot open my KMyMoney mysql and cannot connect to my mysql database because of a prepended / to the database name.
Debug Output:
Error in function int MyMoneyStorageSql::open(const QUrl&, int, bool) : opening database
Driver = QMYSQL, Host = localhost, User = root, Database = /KMyMoney
Driver Error: QMYSQL: Unable to connect
Database Error No 1049: Unknown database '/KMyMoney'
Text: Unknown database '/KMyMoney' QMYSQL: Unable to connect
Error type 1
Executed: 
Query error No -1:  
Error type 0
Something magically prepends the slash to the database name, i did not enter it

Can you try to build from master instead of 5.0.1 and report back if this solves the issue for you? I think commit c5a3c44b2a341d6efc1a55bc55dcff9ff5a594c8 should help.

Sorry, took me some time to compile Master.
The problem is still the same, just a slash too much

Comment 3 Thomas Baumgart 2018-09-10 19:52:25 UTC

I cannot duplicate this problem with current 5.0 branch which is the same code base as master wrt to db code. Maybe it complained about a missing password. That was another problem I just fixed in the 5.0 branch.
