MySQL Workbench not displaying query results

Question

When I query a table in MySQL Workbench, no results are shown, the result section is just blank, no grid or anything. However if I export the data, it is all there. Everything w

Answer 1

It was really frustrating as it was still happening in the workbench version 6.3.10 (for mac) available in the mysql official site (here). I got it resolved by first collapsing the bottom panel (check the top right in the attached image (termed as collapse button)) and then pulling up the empty region from the bottom. Now if I again click on collapse button this time result grid is visible along with the action grid.

Answer 2

I have updated macOS to 10.13.4 and it works.

Answer 3

The problem, as it is described, corresponds exactly to the bug MySQL Bugs: #74147: empty grid result, incompatibiliity with libglib_2.42

The good news is it's almost closed.

A patch is available since today.

EDIT : In Debian Jessie (testing), the problem is solved with the package mysql-workbench 6.2.3+dfsg-6 available since today.

Answer 4

I was able to solve this issue by doing the following...

1. Go to the MySQL website for Workbench: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
2. Once there scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the tab that says "Development Releases"
3. Select your platform, download & install

You will likely want to uninstall any workbench packages already installed. GL!
