Running `drizzle-kit introspect:pg` returns "client password must be a string"

I'm attempting to move from objection.js+knex.js over to Drizzle and I'm running drizzle-kit introspect:pg against my database but I'm getting the error:

Error: SASL: SCRAM-SERVER-FIRST-MESSAGE: client password must be a string

Error: SASL: SCRAM-SERVER-FIRST-MESSAGE: client password must be a string

Here's my drizzle.config.ts:

import type { Config } from 'drizzle-kit';

export default {
  schema: './src/db/schema/*',
  out: './src/db/migrations',
  connectionString: 'DATABASE_URL',
} satisfies Config;

import type { Config } from 'drizzle-kit';

export default {
  schema: './src/db/schema/*',
  out: './src/db/migrations',
  connectionString: 'DATABASE_URL',
} satisfies Config;

If i change connectionString: 'DATABASE_URL', to connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL, I get the error:

Invalid input

Invalid input

I've also tried to specify all the information in my connection string in the CLI params like drizzle-kit instropect:pg --host=... --user=... --password... but get the same error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Also worth noting I have a .env in the root of my project with:

DATABASE_URL=...

DATABASE_URL=...

Update: hardcoding the user, host, password, database into drizzle.config.ts seems to have allowed it to run successfully... seems ok because it's just a one-time run and the code won't be checked in, only the migration and schema files but maybe there's a bug in reading the config

Placing .env file on its own won't do anything - it's just a file You need something like dotenv in the Drizzle config to import values from it as environment variables
