Login problems connecting with SQL Server in nodejs - node.js

Question

I'm working in osx with SQL Server using a docker image to be able to use it, running:
docker run -d --name sqlserver -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=myStrongPass' -e 'MSSQL_PID=Developer' -p 1433:1433 microsoft/mssql-server-linux:2017-latest
I can connect successfully in Azure Data Studio GUI with the following configuration
But the connection does not works in my nodejs code using mssql module.
const poolConnection = new sql.ConnectionPool({
database: 'myDbTest',
server: 'localhost',
port: 1433,
password: '*******',
user: 'sa',
connectionTimeout: 5000,
options: {
encrypt: false,
},
});
const [error, connection] = await to(poolConnection.connect());
The error always is the same:
ConnectionError: Login failed for user 'sa'
Is my first time working with SQL Server and is confusing for me the fact that I can connect correctly in the Azure Studio GUI but I can't do it in code.
I'm trying create new login users with CREATE LOGIN and give them privileges based on other post here in stackoverflow but nothing seems to work.
UPDATE:
I realize that i can connect correctly if i put master in database key.
Example:
const poolConnection = new sql.ConnectionPool({
database: 'master', <- Update here
server: 'localhost',
port: 1433,
password: '*******',
user: 'sa',
connectionTimeout: 5000,
options: {
encrypt: false,
},
});
1) Db that i can connect
2) Db that i want to connect but i can't.
Container error

Answer 1

I suspect a lot of people miss the sa password complexity requirement:
The password should follow the SQL Server default password policy, otherwise the container can not setup SQL server and will stop working. By default, the password must be at least 8 characters long and contain characters from three of the following four sets: Uppercase letters, Lowercase letters, Base 10 digits, and Symbols. You can examine the error log by executing the docker logs command.
An example based on: Quickstart: Run SQL Server container images with Docker
docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest
docker run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "SA_PASSWORD=myStr0ngP4ssw0rd" -e "MSSQL_PID=Developer" -p 1433:1433 --name sqlserver -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest
docker start sqlserver
Checking that the docker image is running (it should not say "Exited" under STATUS)...
docker ps -a
# CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
# af9f01eacab2 mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest "/opt/mssql/bin/nonr…" 45 seconds ago Up 34 seconds 0.0.0.0:1433->1433/tcp sqlserver
Testing from within the docker container that SQL Server is installed and running...
docker exec -it sqlserver /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd \
-S localhost -U "sa" -P "myStr0ngP4ssw0rd" \
-Q "select ##VERSION"

Finally, testing from NodeJS...
const sql = require('mssql');
const config = {
user: 'sa',
password: 'myStr0ngP4ssw0rd',
server: 'localhost',
database: 'msdb',
};
sql.on('error', err => {
console.error('err: ', err);
});
sql.connect(config).then(pool => {
return pool.request()
.query('select ##VERSION')
}).then(result => {
console.dir(result)
}).catch(err => {
console.error('err: ', err);
});
$ node test.js

Hope this helps.
