Unable to connect to Google Cloud SQL with node App Engine and TypeOrm

Question

I am using typeorm and with ;extra.socketPath; in the ormconfig file. I'm getting:

Error : Error: connect ENOENT /cloudsql/[project:region:instance] at
PipeConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1113:14)

The ormConfig.json file contains the following JSON content:

{
  "type": "mysql",
  "extra": {
    "socketPath": "/cloudsql/[project:region:instance]"
  },
  "username": "root",
  "password": "xxxx",
  "database": "yyy",
  "synchronize": true,
  "logging": false,
  "entities": [
    "build/entity/**/*.js"
  ]
}

Answer 1

Original poster found a fix in an identical post on TypeOrm’s github page. They got it to work by using the Cloud SQL IP as their host and changing their firewall to allow it.
