AWS Glue Crawler and JDCBConnection : "Expected string length >= 1, but found 0 for params.Targets.JdbcTargets[0].customJdbcDriverClassName"

Question

I am trying to setup an AWS Glue Crawler using a JDBC connection in order to populate my AWS Glue Data Catalog databases. I already have a Connection which passes the test but when I submit my crawler creation, I have this error : "Expected string length >= 1, but found 0 for params.Targets.JdbcTargets[0].customJdbcDriverClassName" as you can see in the first screenshot.

The only clue I have for now is that there is no Class Name attached to my connection. However I cannot edit it while editing the connection

Does it ring a bell to someone? Thanks a lot

I've also had this issue, and even tried using aws-cli to create/update my connection to try to manually input the required parameter.

Turns out this is an AWS UI issue caused by a recent update. According to this post you can create it using the Legacy console for now (on the sidbar, there is a Legacy section where you can find the Legacy pages). I just tried it on my end and it worked =)
