dbmate dump fails with mysqldump: unknown variable 'ssl=false' (MySQL 9.6 / Homebrew)

[glassfox]

Description

Running dbmate dump against MySQL fails because mysqldump rejects an argument that dbmate appears to be passing: ssl=false.

This happens with a Homebrew-installed MySQL client where mysqldump no longer recognizes ssl=false as a valid variable.

• Version: dbmate 2.29.3
• Database: MySQL 9.6.0
• Operating System: macOS 26.2 (arm64, Homebrew)

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create .env:

DATABASE_URL="mysql://user:password@127.0.0.1:3306/mydb"

2. Run:

dbmate dump

3. Observe the error:

Error: mysqldump: [ERROR] unknown variable 'ssl=false'.

Additional information:

mysqldump --version

mysqldump  Ver 9.6.0 for macos26.2 on arm64 (Homebrew)

Expected Behavior

dbmate dump should successfully generate a database dump.
