Error precompiling MySQL: ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: artifact_dir not defined

I am following the docs here: https://mysql.juliadatabases.org/stable/ and get the following error when I run using MySQL:

Any suggestions how to resolve this?

I am running on Julia 1.7 with an M1 mac

That just means that the artifact (in this case MariaDB_Connector_C_jll) has not been built for that architecture. There is some command you are supposed to run before accessing artifact_dir so you get a better error message but I don't recall what it is.

You can guard the access to the variable with MariaDB_Connector_C_jll.is_available()

Should be fixed by JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#4278.

Awesome, it is working now, thank you both.
