MySQL Compatibility with MacOS Sierra

Question

Does anybody know of any compatibility issues or quirks with MySQL Community Server/Workbench on macOS Sierra? I recently did an installation on a Mac that had never held MySQL

Answer 1

UPDATE!

macOS High Sierra needs MySQL Workbench 6.3.10

See changelog for 6.3.10 version

SOLVED in version 6.3.9

Tested on:

macOS Sierra
Version 10.12.3 (16D32)

MySQL

Workbench 6.3.9
Version 6.3.9 build 10690321 CE (64 bits) Community
----> OK

Download: MySQL Workbench 6.3.9
^{Packages for Sierra (10.12) are compatible with El Capitan (10.11) and are Yosemite (10.10)}

Changelog: ^{among others...}

• In some cases, executing a query caused MySQL Workbench to become unresponsive when the host was macOS Sierra. (Bug #25036263, Bug #83658)

Original answer in code snippet below:

I ***temporary*** solved changed the ***group*** of the application.  

I tried everything, uninstalling, reinstall, change many settings... finally I thought that must be something with the security... was not normal, I check firewall rules, nothing... And just in case, I try with file permission and it was there.

I was installed in the ***admin group***.  
Changed to ***staff*** solve the problem.  

    $ sudo chown :staff /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app

> Where of course, `` is **your** username

    Ex.
    $ sudo chown gmo:staff /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app

Tested and working!

 - Go back to admin group... problem came back.
 - Changed to staff again... problem solved.

I hope this is a global solution, please check yours.


###Edit:
Solution not stable, problem came back after a few attempts.  
Try with `root:admin`, the same...

### UPDATE
*`Workaround until new version is release`*

Roll back to 6.2 version and working good.
