Test MariaDB credentials in WIX Installer UI
To test MariaDB credentials in a WiX Installer UI, you can create a custom action that performs the validation and displays the result to the user. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
Define a custom action in your WiX installer. This custom action will be responsible for validating the MariaDB credentials. For example, you can create a custom action with a type of "ExeCommand" that executes a PowerShell script.
xml<CustomAction Id="TestMariaDBCredentials" Execute="immediate" Return="check" Impersonate="no" HideTarget="no" ExeCommand="[POWERSHELL_PATH] -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File TestMariaDBCredentials.ps1" />
Replace
[POWERSHELL_PATH]
with the path to your PowerShell executable andTestMariaDBCredentials.ps1
with the name of your PowerShell script.Create a PowerShell script (
TestMariaDBCredentials.ps1
) that performs the validation. This script can use the appropriate database connection libraries (e.g., MySQL Connector/NET) to connect to the MariaDB server and validate the provided credentials. The script should exit with a non-zero code if the credentials are invalid.powershellparam (
$server,
$database,
$username,
$password
)
# Import required modules
try {
# Perform database connection and validation
# Exit with a non-zero code if the credentials are invalid
}
catch {
# Handle any exceptions that occur during the validation
Write-Error $_.Exception.Message
exit 1
}
You need to modify the script to include the necessary logic to connect to the MariaDB server and validate the credentials.
In your WiX UI, add a control (e.g., text boxes) for the user to enter the MariaDB credentials (server, database, username, password).
Bind the control values to properties using the
Property
element in your WiX definition file.xml<Property Id="MARIADB_SERVER" Secure="yes" />
<Property Id="MARIADB_DATABASE" Secure="yes" />
<Property Id="MARIADB_USERNAME" Secure="yes" />
<Property Id="MARIADB_PASSWORD" Secure="yes" />
Trigger the custom action (
TestMariaDBCredentials
) on a button click or any appropriate event in your WiX UI. You can use thePublish
element to define the event and custom action association.xml<Publish Dialog="YourDialog" Control="TestButton" Event="DoAction" Value="TestMariaDBCredentials">1</Publish>
Replace
YourDialog
with the actual dialog name andTestButton
with the control ID that triggers the action.Capture the result of the custom action and display it to the user. You can use conditions and message boxes to show success or failure messages based on the exit code of the custom action.
xml<Condition Message="Failed to validate MariaDB credentials.">NOT TEST_MARIADB_CREDENTIALS</Condition>
<Condition Message="Invalid MariaDB credentials.">TEST_MARIADB_CREDENTIALS = 1</Condition>
<Condition Message="Valid MariaDB credentials.">TEST_MARIADB_CREDENTIALS = 0</Condition>
Replace
TEST_MARIADB_CREDENTIALS
with the property that stores the result of the custom action.
Make sure to adapt the example code to your specific requirements and update the property names, dialog names, control IDs, and error messages accordingly.
