I'm currently working on a SBT-based Scala project and I need to use MySQL as database (through Slick 3.0.0 library).
The issue is that I can't connect to the database because of this exception:
> service[ERROR] java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
service[ERROR] at java.sql.DriverManager.getDriver(DriverManager.java:315)
service[ERROR] at slick.jdbc.DriverBasedJdbcDataSource$class.registerDriver(JdbcDataSource.scala:60)
service[ERROR] at slick.jdbc.DriverJdbcDataSource.registerDriver(JdbcDataSource.scala:72)
service[ERROR] at slick.jdbc.DriverJdbcDataSource.<init>(JdbcDataSource.scala:78)
service[ERROR] at slick.jdbc.JdbcBackend$DatabaseFactoryDef$class.forURL(JdbcBackend.scala:101)
service[ERROR] at slick.jdbc.JdbcBackend$$anon$3.forURL(JdbcBackend.scala:33)
What I've done so far (see screenshot):
I made sure the MySQL server is running.
I've added mysql-connector-java dependency the build.sbt file. The jar gets downloaded correctly (see column on the left).
I've used this to get a connection to the database:
val db = Database.forURL( "jdbc:mysql/localhost:3306/service", "service", "service", driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" )
Any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks.
