uninitialized constant Mysql2::Client::SECURE_CONNECTION

Question

I cant run a Rails project because of the error occurred in mysql2

This post didn't help me: rake aborted! uninitialized constant Mysql2

Also it works fine on my co-workers computers, so an issue with the project itself is excluded.

Here is the console output:

$ rails s

I've tried every single advice from GitHub Issues, but it didn't help at all.

• I tried Ruby 2.0.0, 2.1.8, 2.2.x
• My OS is Ubuntu 16.04
• MySQL 5.6.16
• ruby-mysql and libmysqlclient-dev are both installed

Answer 1

I had to update mysql2 to 0.3.21
