Fixed it by updating the file from ed0ca0a#diff-6388ffd322d15e41854f11f345d3b7a2088a390b4cdc2b38093519a3f75b8634

I hope someone can guide me here.

I have tried to change the file /project/Dependencies.scala. even after changing the connector version to 8.0.11 I still have issue connecting to database.

Disabling bind address variable #bind-address in my.cnf fixed the issue.
