Webpack + MySQL async/await => Error: Received packet in the wrong sequence

[rcbyron]

Using Webpack minimization causes an error when running an "await query"

Error: Received packet in the wrong sequence

(This is mentioned under the npm mysql module issues: mysqljs/mysql#1655)

It has a workaround (disable mangling of function names):

optimization: {
    minimizer: [new TerserPlugin({ terserOptions: { mangle: false } })] // false otherwise mysql promises blow up with "PROTOCOL_INCORRECT_PACKET_SEQUENCE"
}

However it seems like mysql2 might support promises/async/await and mangled names?
https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2

Might be good to add a configuration option to use mysql2 instead, since it looks to be backwards compatible.

Looks like switching to mysql2 in the config solved the problem.

const sql = require('serverless-mysql')({
  library: require('mysql2'), // better performance and support for promises
  ...
}

Closing this issue.
