- Around line 52-53: Update the driver-classification helper so a URL with an
explicit driver such as postgresql+custom is classified as custom when driver is
None, rather than receiving the default backend hint. Add a
missing-custom-plugin test alongside the existing missing-custom-DBAPI test to
verify the error does not recommend the PostgreSQL extra.

Linear: DEV-2047
What and why
A tester installed SLayer without the
postgresextra and got a bareModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psycopg2'(then'asyncpg'), with nothing saying what to install. On top of that, the async path replaced any driver in the user'sconnection_stringwith asyncpg, so someone who chose psycopg v3 still needed asyncpg.A missing driver now says what to install
Building a sync or async engine with a missing driver module or SQLAlchemy dialect plugin raises
MissingDriverError. It is both aSlayerError(so REST answers 400 and MCP/CLI report the message) and anImportError.The hint depends on what the URL selects:
pip install 'motley-slayer[<extra>]'.connection_string(e.g.postgresql+pg8000, or a plugin likepostgresql+somedriver) → "install the driver named in your connection_string". It never recommends an extra that wouldn't help.A pre-flight in
slayer/sql/dialects/drivers.pyloads the dialect and DBAPI exactly ascreate_enginewould and translates only those failures. That includes a plugin that is installed but whose own import fails, which is reported by the module that failed. An unrelatedImportErrorinside a dialect hook still propagates unchanged. Snowflake's connector (imported lazily at connect time) and BigQuery OAuth'sgoogle.*imports go through the same error.Driver facts live on the dialect
SqlDialectgainsurl_scheme,sync_driver,async_driverandinstall_extra. Every consumer reads them throughSqlDialect.driver_facts(ds_type). A type SLayer doesn't register (e.g.foo) uses the Postgres dialect only as an SQL fallback and inherits none of its drivers or its extra. The two hand-synced tables,client._ASYNC_DRIVERSandget_connection_string'sdriver_map, are gone. Structured-config URLs are byte-identical to before, and an unregistered typefoostill getsfoo://.The async path respects the user's driver
connection_string(type postgres)postgresql+psycopg://…postgresql://…,postgresql+psycopg2://…postgresql+asyncpg://…, all other URL parts preservedpostgresql+pg8000://…MySQL follows the same rule (
mysql:///+pymysql→+aiomysql;+asyncmykept). A missing async driver now raises the error instead of the documented-but-nonexistent sync fallback, and the client docstring says so.Docs
