MySQL Server has gone away

[pawel-marciniak]

Hello,

Once in a while I have this error ("MySQL Server has gone away") in my GitHub workflow (in step where I migrating database structure). Has anyone got aby idea why? My configuration regarding database looks like this:

      - name: Stop default MySQL
        run: sudo systemctl stop mysql
      - uses: getong/mariadb-action@v1.1
        with:
          mariadb version: '10.4.10'
          mysql database: 'database'
          mysql user: 'user'
          mysql password: 'password'

There's a wide range of causes that can cause this https://www.percona.com/blog/2020/09/25/diagnosing-and-fixing-mysql-server-has-gone-away-messages/

None of them relate to the way this github action does things. Some might be server bugs, memory exhaustion, or fetching large packets without configuration.
