Unable to connect to LocalDB with HeidiSQL

Question

I have been trying to connect to a localdb instance with the latest version (at this time) of heidisql to no avail.

I have followed the instructions from this answer her

As of heidisql.exe Revision 9.3.0.5108 you could also:

1. Start the database with "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe" start "MSSQLLocalDB"
2. Read the "Instance pipe name" from "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe" info "MSSQLLocalDB" (e.g., \\.\pipe\LOCALDB#1B9DCF1E\tsql\query
3. Start HeidiSQL with "C:\Program Files\HeidiSQL\heidisql.exe --nettype=3 --host="\\.\pipe\LOCALDB#1B9DCF1E\tsql\query" --winauth=1"

I use a Bash script that automates all that, and it goes roughly like this:

shopt -s expand_aliases
alias __sqllocaldb='/c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ SQL\ Server/120/Tools/Binn/SqlLocalDB.exe'
alias __heidisql='/c/Program\ Files/HeidiSQL/heidisql.exe'
__sqllocaldb start  "Development"
hostname=$(__sqllocaldb info  "Development" | tail -1 | sed 's/\(Instance pipe name: np:\)//')
__heidisql --nettype=3 --host="$hostname" --winauth=1
