xywiki.labsdb or xywiki.analytics.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs?
[edit]@Zhuyifei1999: I noticed you changed this value. But in user-config.py (and config2.py) there is a different value suggested. I use xywiki.labsdb and it works for me, what is the correct value? We should fix the config2.py or this page and make them unified. Dvorapa (talk) 01:30, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- The former used to point to a replica cluster that has now been decommissioned; it is now a deprecated alias for the latter, only kept for backwards-compatibility. Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 05:07, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- I see, thank you. I'll apply the change also to config2.py in the https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/pywikibot/core/+/272990/. But from my dumb novice user view, the former was better to remember and use. Dvorapa (talk) 12:10, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

db_connect_file = None
[edit]@Dvorapa: edit No, I checked the empty value today. The `db_username`/password using ONLY if `= None`. Take a look to code, lines 57-65. And you can see in debuger - there on value '' or empty using `{'read_default_file': config.db_connect_file}`. Vladis13 (talk) 10:43, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, but in Python at least: '' == None too. And also if no value ever set, Pywikibot really uses the default from config2, which is also ''. So it doesn't matter if db_connect_file is '', None or not set in the user-config, still db_username counts in all these cases. Therefore better not push users to change '' to None (as they are equal) and leave it as is. Dvorapa (talk) 11:00, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, but you mistake. 1)
'' == Noneis False, see online console. 2) Users have error on connect to database, if do not set `db_connect_file = None`. Screenshot. Vladis13 (talk) 18:35, 28 June 2018 (UTC) - I can not reproduce what you describe, maybe you should fill in a bug task to Phabricator as the behavior in this manual should be described correctly.
