Hello, I downloaded the zip files; I managed to get Magmi to work on M2 but now I get the below error.
I have searched high and low and even changed the DB user/pass but still, I can't get rid of the error.
How did

go to magmi/inc/magmi_engine.php replace the one 511 line and replace else code and add you credential

else {
$host = $this->getProp("DATABASE", "host", "localhost");
$dbname = $this->getProp("DATABASE", "dbname", "magento");
$user = $this->getProp("DATABASE", "user",'root');
$pass = $this->getProp("DATABASE", "password",'root');
$port = $this->getProp("DATABASE", "port", "3306");
}

I tried adding the database credentials to magmi_engine.php, but it didn't make any different. I'm still getting this error
