Hi @jinleileiking. I had the same problem and finally found out a workaround. I guess you can save your configuration with including “?charset=utf8” and ignore the test connection fail. Once you saved the configuration with “?charset=utf8”, the test connection will say “seems ok”. It might be a bug on the test connection.
