Hello,
We have learned the hard way that unfortunately this buildpack doesn't support special characters (specifically
@
) in usernames and passwords. These characters should be URL-encoded - see e.g. how Django package that adds support forDATABASE_URL
handles it:https://github.com/jacobian/dj-database-url/blob/master/dj_database_url.py#L124
However, the buildpack doesn't decode them and therefore uses wrong passwords for user list and database.
This commit adds decoding to the buildpack and thus fixes the issue /cc @marns93 .
All the best,
Yury
