Problem: mysql_db ansible module tries to use tcp socket

[mamedin]

It is a bug related to the mysql_db module.

The workaround is:

• Adding socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock in /root/.my.cnf to use the unix socket.

Error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: OperationalError: (1044, u"Access denied for user 'root'@'127.0.0.1' to database 'gnwt_test'")
fatal: [atom-test-sites -> None]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "error creating database: (1044, u\"Access denied for user 'root'@'127.0.0.1' to database 'gnwt_test'\")"}

Seems related to ansible/ansible#47736 (comment)

When using MySQLdb it works fine, but fails when python-pymysql package is installed.

This command fixes the issue on atom-test-sites:

The python-mysqldb should be installed.

Looking at mysql_user documentation, the only requierement is (See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.3/mysql_user_module.html):

Requirements (on host that executes module)
MySQLdb

So:

• Never use the pymysql packages, always use the mysqldb ones

Hi @mamedin , it's been a while since I did this PR: #73 but it could probably help with this issue? (the PR adds a login_unix_socket parameter to the mysql_user task)

This issue is fixed, but I prefer to leave it open: never use the pymysql packages

I'll try to review the molecule PR, it is very useful. Thanks!

Same change I did here this morning: artefactual-labs/ansible-atom-replication@e8db189
