MySQL Workbench on Mac (10.14) opens only for a moment and closes immediately without any (visible) error message. Re-installing it does not solve the problem.
What can I do to fix this problem?
To launch MySQL Workbench on macOS, open the Applications folder in the Finder, then double-click MySQL Workbench. It is also possible to start MySQL Workbench from the command line: Specifying options, a model file, or both is optional. For example:
Go to System preferences -> MySql and check the state of your MySql instance. Show activity on this post. There may be one or multiple reasons if you are not able to connect to MAC OS X MySQL server with MySQL-workbench. When you press 'test connection' you might see this error.
“MySQLWorkbench.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Then you are at the right place. We have a simple solution that may work for you if you have just downloaded MySQL Workbench and are trying to open/run it.
If the server instance is stopped, then MySQL-workbench won't be able to connect to the MySQL server. If you are still facing issue, then you need to check the port of the connection which you are making. Default port is '3307' and NOT '3306'. You can check it with using the following command in mysql terminal:
One solution worked with me:
System Preferences
-> Security & Privacy
-> click “Open Anyway
”.
And don't forget to unlock the Lock icon at the bottom left.
