Failed to connect to any of the specified hosts

I am using this simple example from the official documentation (I added error checking) and I immediately receive the error: failed to connect to any of the specified hosts

cluster, err := gocb.Connect("couchbase://localhost")
if err != nil {
	return nil, err
}
cluster.Authenticate(gocb.PasswordAuthenticator{
	Username: "u",
	Password: "p",
})
bucket, err := cluster.OpenBucket("beer-sample", "")
if err != nil {
	fmt.Println(gocb.ErrorCause(err))
	return nil, err
}

I traced the error back to the OpenBucket call. Is anyone else experience this?

Hey @zbecker10,

Keep in mind that PasswordAuthenticator is only useable with Couchbase Server 5.0. Can you confirm which server version you are using, and your network layout?

Cheers, Brett

@brett19, I am using Couchbase Server 5.0 through the downloadable OS X application!

I just simply opened the application, created a new cluster, set the administration username and password and used a sample bucket.

Hi @zbecker10, the openBucket function assigns bucket name as username. Set the username as ‘beer-sample’ and use following code. it should work.

    cluster, err := gocb.Connect("couchbase://localhost")

	if err != nil {
	             return nil, err
	   }
	bucket, err := cluster.OpenBucket("beer-sample", "****")
	if err != nil {
	   	fmt.Println(gocb.ErrorCause(err))
	        return nil, err
	   }
