Unable to provide username and password in postgresql connection URI

[tangentus]

When executing DS_PORT=3001 DWN_STORAGE=postgres://postgres:[email protected]:5432/dwn npm run server an error log is given. After checking my postgres logs it seems that the underlying postgres driver is defaulting to the $USER environment variable when connecting to the database instead of the username provided in the connection URI.

Node version: Node.js v18.19.0
Package version: latest (main)

Note That you can get it working by setting the PGUSER and PGPASSWORD environment variables and leave them out of the connection URI. This took a bit of digging to figure out which env variables are being looked for 😓
PGUSER=postgres PGPASSWORD=postgres DS_PORT=3001 DWN_STORAGE=postgres://0.0.0.0:5432/dwn npm run server
