Uncaught error: Invalid startup packet layout: expected terminator as last byte

[Inxo]

I catch connection error
Uncaught error: Invalid startup packet layout: expected terminator as last byte

Looks like need to modify startup handshake

My solution was add one more empty string to startup:

 var bodyBuffer = writer.addCString('').addCString('').flush()

nodejs: v16.13.2
vertica: v10.0.0-0

Will look into this. We routinely test against the latest version of Vertica. There may have been an undocumented protocol change since 10.0.0

@Inxo , I am also facing this issue which connecting to vertica database. How can I resolve this at my end?

Causing regressions that weren't caught in CI automation. Will merge once we can verify it's only a test issue

Also facing the exact thing.
Tried different versions of node.
Vertica version 10.1.1-17
Node versions I've tested - 19.4/16.19/14.21.2

I've the same issue on windows 10 (64x) +: NodeJs 19.3.0+ & Vertica 10.1+

[DMickens]

Confirmed that problem is seen with Vertica version 10.0 as noted in the issue, but not 12.0
