Sample Data Installation Issue

[TRMMarketing]

Attempted to install sample data on an clear magento 2 1.0 beta following: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install/sample-data.html#instgde-prereq-sample-intro

When I run bin/magento setup:upgrade I am encountering the following errors:

[Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

@TRMMarketing Thank you for reporting this issue. Can you please verify if the database connection is correct in app\etc\env.php and if your database is running fine.

It is correct. To test I setup an entirely new install as well and walk through the steps described again and received the exact same error. This was a brand new installation that was fully functional.

If Magento was installed first, did you use these steps: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install/sample-data.html#instgde-install-sample-enable-after

The only other obvious thing is that I updated that page yesterday to update this command:

composer require magento/sample-data:~1.0.0-beta

Before, it was using an older 0.74-beta15 version.

Followed the sample data after installation data.

It appears this error is occurring whenever the bin/magento setup:upgrade is run as I just ran this to test a sample module as well and the same issue arose.

I can confirm, I've had the exact same issues. I've never been able to install the sample data during the initial install or since the new ./magento sampledata:install method.

Edit: Installing via command line as mentioned on #1288 (comment) allowed me to install correctly.
