Can't export my database from mysql workbench

Question

I am trying to export my database from MySQL Workbench but I get this during the export progress:

Running: mysqldump.exe --defaults-file=\"c:\\users

Answer 1

Bug still in Workbench 8.0.16.

Fix:

You can edit wb_admin_export.py under modules in the workbench program directory. Search for "skip_column_statistics = True" (you will find a conditional, don't worry), comment that line and add a line "skip_column_statistics = True" (without a conditional).

The required parameter will now be always added.
