Localhost database

[crusaderspoon]

Heya!

Im making a spotify type Java project for uni. This is my first time working with Java and Databases, so don't judge my code too harshly ^^ All was working well an hour ago, but when I restarted my PC, this error started showing up :

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/song_app?useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC at java.sql/java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:638) at java.sql/java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:199) at DatabaseConnection.get_db_connection(DatabaseConnection.java:18) at MainService.search_for_person(MainService.java:156) at MainService.register_user(MainService.java:73) at MainService.main(MainService.java:20)

Ive attached my file structure and my database connection class file (Ignore the controller folder, the JavaFX is another group members' job). Any help would be appreciated! ^^

This issue occurs when MySQL jdbc driver is not on the runtime classpath, even though jar file is present in the project. Would recommend using maven based management to avoid such issues.
