Bug #73580	Server menu items do nothing or cause crash

Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
I am running an ssh tunnel through the command line to a remote server.  MySQL Workbench is configured to connect to localhost.  

I started workbench from the command line with:
/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/MySQLWorkbench --log-level=debug3

First, I attempt "Data Export" from the Server menu and nothing happens.  The log file reports:
05:50:10 [ERR][wb_admin_grt.py:openAdminSection:822]: No context found for editor in call to openAdminSection
05:50:10 [DB2][            grt]: wb.admin.open_into finished in 0.00s

Then I attempt "Management Access Settings..." from the Server menu and Workbench crashes.  Nothing is added to the log file, the command prompt reports:
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type grt::module_error: error calling Python module function WbAdmin.autoDetectLocalInstance
Abort trap: 6

Information from the crash report is attached.

How to repeat:
with an ssh tunnel running to a remote server:

1)  start Workbench from the command line
/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/MySQLWorkbench --log-level=debug3

2)  connect to the database

3)  from the "Server" menu, choose "Data Export"
nothing happens

4) from the "Server" menu, choose "Management Access Settings..."

Connected SSH

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.2.2 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The server management functionality would sometimes fail with connections
using SSH tunneling.

Thank you for the bug report.
