Error when generating offline mode file

[Sycration]

So my mysql instance is up and working:

and I have the sqlx cli installed:

> cargo sqlx --version
cargo-sqlx 0.6.2

and the same url is in the .env file,
but when I try to generate the sqlx-data.json, all I get is this:

> cargo sqlx prepare
error: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0 

How do I properly generate the offline files? I feel that spinning up a database during the build step would be a ridiculous thing to do.

For me, this was caused by an issue when running cargo metadata - could you check whether that completes successfully for you?

It produces 2MB worth of JSON.
metadata.txt

Ok, I solved it by updating a different crate in the workspace. No idea how this caused this issue, but the error message is totally unclear.
