Description: There seems to be a bug where an incomplete setup of performance tools causes an issue where workbench is unable to make a clean connection for the purposes of "performance reports" and "performance schema setup" windows. The wb.log shows an error 2006, thus 11:56:09 [ERR][wb_admin_perfschema.py:ps_usable:275]: MySQL error retrieving the performance_schema variable: ('MySQL server has gone away', 2006) How to repeat: An incomplete variable in connections.xml seemed to cause this. Removing <value type="string" key="schema"></value> from the connection and restarting workbench seems to resolve this problem. Suggested fix: Error caused by empty "schema" variable in connections.xml; Perhaps a sanity check on connections.xml at startup may solve this, or allow the exception to be handled.
