I've been trying to test MySQL Router with Group Replication. The documentation for Router mentions Group Replication numerous times, suggesting it should work. However, all I am getting is errors telling me that innodb cluster isn't installed.
I have 3 x MySQL 8.0 databases set up on my local (windows) PC operating with Group Replication.
I have installed MySQL Router to my local PC.
But when I try and start Group Replication I get:
`C:\MySQLRouter\bin\mysqlrouter.exe --bootstrap root@localhost:8306 --directory c:/MySQLRouter/myrouter`
`Error: Expected MySQL Server '127.0.0.1:8306' to contain the metadata of MySQL InnoDB Cluster, but the schema does not exist.
Checking version of the metadata schema failed with: Error executing MySQL query: Unknown database 'mysql_innodb_cluster_metadata' (1049)
See
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/mysql-innodb-cluster-creating.html for instructions on setting up a MySQL Server to act as an InnoDB Cluster Metadata server`
Should it work with Group Replication? or should I just give up already.
