mysqldiff does not work with MySQL 8.0.13 server (Windows 10)

[snillocbor]

We are successfully using mysqldiff as part of our build process to validate our migration scripts with MySQL 5.7. This has been a perfect solution for us for years. We are looking to upgrade to MySQL 8.0.13, but are running into the following error:

ERROR: Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' is not supported

We have configured the database user with mysql_native_password but this apparently is not sufficient. Presumably, we need to have mysqldiff use the version 8 driver. It is unclear (to us) if this is something we can easily do, or if the fix is more complicated.

We are looking for a fix or workaround for both Windows 10 and Amazon Linux.

This is probably a duplicate of #36.

Is there any movement on this?
