I have a MySQL database running locally on a machine and would like to explore the new Connections system in RStudio. I did a lot of looking on how to use this new tool with my database but came up pretty short. I can access the database through R by using the DBI::dbConnect methods and directly using RMySQL. When I place a working dbConnect call into the dialog for the new Connection and hit "test", it says good to go. When I then click on "ok" the dialog disappears but nothing appears in the listview where the connections would typically be listed. Is MySQL not supported through the new Connections tab?
I would provide more code here and a simple example or some screenshots, but the computer in question is not networked and data cannot come off of it.
I am running RStudio 1.1.383, R version 3.4.0, MySQL 5.7.18, RMySQL 0.10.11, DBI 0.7
