5. What did you do?

   If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
   A complete runnable program would be the most helpful.

   I configured a connection as such:
   let connection = snowflake.createConnection({
   account: "{my_snowflake_account}",
   host: "{account}.{aws_region}.snowflakecomputing.com",
   warehouse: "{warehouse_name",
   role: "{role}",
   username: userName,
   password: password,
   authenticator:
   "{okta_authenticator_url}",
   database: "{database}",
   schema: "{schema}",
   });

6. What did you expect to see?

   What should have happened and what happened instead?

   I should have made a connection to snowflake

7. Can you collect debug logs?

I did collect logs. The relevant error was:

{"level":"INFO","message":"[9:38:42.241 AM]: Connection[id: 9fcb8b52-0525-4fc0-82f5-ebfe4e8bc1cf] - failed to connect async after 939.9255000054836 milliseconds.Failed during authentication.

After additional debugging, I was able to determine that the endpoint that axios was trying to connect to was the host string with the region removed. Once I specified the region property (deprecated) on the connection config then it worked.

information.

hello - i'm able to connect with

const connection = snowflake.createConnection({
    validateDefaultParameters: true,
    account: process.env.SFLOCATOR,
    host: process.env.SFLOCATOR + '.eu-central-1.snowflakecomputing.com',
    username: process.env.SFUSER,
    password: process.env.SFPASS,
    application: __filename.slice(__dirname.length + 1)
});

for an account in AWS EU Frankfurt, where SFLOCATOR is xy12345 , the account locator name.
So no bug here, but looks like a misconfiguration of the account name.

Recommendation is to either use the regionless notation ORGNAME-ACCOUNTNAME for account, or the older, locator version accountlocator.yourregion (where region is needed, and sometimes cloud notation is also needed, see https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-account-identifier)

host is not necessary if you have account properly populated, see https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/node-js/nodejs-driver-connect#creating-a-single-connection

Since this works as expected and per documentation, I'm marking it as closed but if you have evidence (logs) of an actual error which doesn't happen due to a misconfiguration, please do share and I can reopen and look further.
