我正在尝试通过NodeJS文件连接到mySQL，但是收到以下错误：

奇怪的是，我可以通过运行终端通过终端连接mysql -u root -p。我只在运行JavaScript时收到此错误。我已经遍历了Google和StackOverflow，但仍然找不到有效的解决方案。我在虚拟机上的Ubuntu
16.04.1上使用MySQL 5.7.16。不知道VM是否在这里有所作为。我的Javascript代码如下：

'use strict';

var mysql = require('mysql');

var connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root',
    password: 'password'
});

connection.query(
    'SELECT "foo" AS first_field, "bar" AS second_field',
    function(err, results, fields) {
        console.log(err);
        console.log(results);
        connection.end();
    }
);

我已经尝试在JavaScript中使用“ locahost”以及“
127.0.0.1”。我在mySql.user表中同时具有’localhost’和‘127.0.0.1’的’root’用户，我可以通过执行以下命令来查看SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user WHERE user='root';

我通过执行以下命令为“ root”用户添加了特权：

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

我也在127.0.0.1上运行了上述代码。我也尝试过这个：

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION

我试图像这样重置根密码：https :
//help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset

FLUSH PRIVILEGES每次尝试后我都已奔跑。我已经停止并重新启动了mySQL。我已经完全卸载了mySQL并重新安装。

一切都无济于事。每次尝试运行javascript时，我都会收到拒绝访问错误，但是通过终端连接到mySQL时，我绝对没有问题。

有任何想法吗？
