sails-mysql No database Selected

Question

I've googled this quite a bit, and looked at other solutions on stack overflow but have found nothing that fixes my issue. When defining a model to use mysql instead of disk I get the following error

verbose: Registering model `users` in Waterline (ORM) with definition :: 
 { identity: 'users',
  tableName: 'users',
  connections: 
       [ { pool: true,
       connectionLimit: 10,
       waitForConnections: true,
       adapter: 'sails-mysql' } ],
  config: 
   { host: 'localhost',
     port: 3306,
     user: 'root',
     password: 'password',
     database: 'sailsapp' },
  attributes: { name: 'string', email: 'string', phone: 'string' },
  globalId: 'users',

  publishDestroy: [Function: bound],

Logic error in mySQL ORM.

I have read in other places that there is a known error with the new version of sails.js (0.9.16) where the adapter and config have to be specified for each model. I have done that as you can see from the error log, however the code for my model is below

module.exports = {
    adapter: 'mysql',
    config: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 3306,
        user: 'root',
        password: 'password',
        database: 'sailsapp'
    },

    attributes: {
        name: 'string',
        email: 'string',
        phone: 'string'
    }
};

I'm still getting the same error. Here is the package.json file for my app

{
    "name": "sailsjs",
    "private": true,
    "version": "0.0.0",
    "description": "a Sails application",
    "dependencies": {
        "sails": "0.9.16",
        "grunt": "0.4.1",
        "sails-disk": "~0.9.0",
        "ejs": "0.8.4",
        "optimist": "0.3.4"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "start": "node app.js",
        "debug": "node debug app.js"
    },
    "main": "app.js",
    "repository": "",
    "author": "",
    "license": ""
}

and the package.json file for my version of sails-mysql

{
  "name": "sails-mysql",
  "version": "0.9.9",
  "description": "MySQL adapter for Sails.js",
  "main": "lib/adapter.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "make test"
  }, ...

Are there any suggestions about how to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

changing the default adapters.js file mysql adapter object from myLocalMySQLDatabase to simply mysql seemed to fix it. Don't know why they changed the name of the mysql adapter object but we're good to go now.

Answer 2

In v0.10, connection name can be defined on models.js which was configured on connections.js

models.js

 connection: 'someMysqlServer'

connections.js

 someMysqlServer: {
    adapter : 'sails-mysql',
    host    : 'localhost',
    user    : '',
    password: '', 
    database: ''
  }
