Improve error message we can't connect to the database about mariaex

[josevalim]

Can we please reopen this one? All we are going to say in this case is that the tcp connection is closed, which is an improvement, but I would rather say we can't authenticate in the first place. Otherwise users will be clueless to why the connection was closed. :)

It was occasionally closed.

Thanks @jquadrin and @liveforeverx !

If nobody working on errors at the moment, I'll tackle this.

[jquadrino]

@liveforeverx I just changed the message, feel free to close if you are working on it already

[josevalim]

The current message is fine. TCP can be closed in other situations. We just need to explicitly check those for authentication errors. I think postgrex even has specific tests for this kind of stuff. :)

So, pushed to master the code, that tests false user/database and shows error. Next step to test the connection with password/false password, will do it somewhere tomorrow.

Tried to find the test on postgrex, but didn't find, where it tested... @josevalim , see this line: https://github.com/liveforeverx/mariaex/blob/master/lib/mariaex/connection.ex#L64 (avoiding of a problem), sometimes it happens, that tcp_closed will got and process terminated(with the linked starter process), before starter process get error. This lead to undefined behaviour, if trap_exit set to false:

iex(1)> Mariaex.Connection.start_link(database: "non_existing")
** (EXIT from #PID<0.104.0>) %Mariaex.Error{mariadb: nil, message: "connection closed"}

Interactive Elixir (1.1.0-dev) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)>
22:52:39.904 [error] GenServer #PID<0.106.0> terminating
Last message: {:tcp_closed, #Port<0.15965>}
State: %{backend_key: nil, opts: [hostname: "localhost", password: nil, username: "dima", database: "non_existing"], parameters: %{}, queue: {[], []}, rows: [], seqnum: 0, sock: {Mariaex.Connection.Tcp, #Port<0.15965>}, sock_mod: Mariaex.Connection.Tcp, state: :running, statement: nil, tail: "", types: :types_removed}
** (exit) %Mariaex.Error{mariadb: nil, message: "connection closed"}
iex(1)> Mariaex.Connection.start_link(database: "non_existing")
{:error,
 %Mariaex.Error{mariadb: %{code: 1044,
    message: "Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'non_existing'"},
  message: "Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'non_existing'"}}

Do not tested it on postgrex, but it can have the same problem.

[liveforeverx]

So, tested with master(fix password authorization):

iex> Mariaex.Connection.start_link(username: "pass", password: "wrong_pass", database: "ecto_test")
{:error,
 %Mariaex.Error{mariadb: %{code: 1045,
    message: "Access denied for user 'pass'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"},
  message: nil}}

iex> Mariaex.Connection.start_link(username: "pass", password: "pass", database: "ecto_test")
{:ok, #PID<0.106.0>}

And, there are tests for all other cases(false user | database, impossible to connect to database(tcp error)) here: https://github.com/liveforeverx/mariaex/blob/master/test/start_test.exs

I think, the issue can be closed for a long time.
