hub.db.password perhaps not functioning

[vivian-rook]

hub.db.password doesn't seem to do result in attempting to use a password for mysql authentication.

    db:
      url: "mysql+pymysql://mysql:3306/paws?charset=utf8mb4"
      type: mysql
      password: password
      upgrade: false

gives:

2023-07-10T16:31:08.954745Z 35 [Note] Access denied for user 'paws'@'172.17.0.2' (using password: NO)

In the mysql db logs.

Using:

    db:
      url: "mysql+pymysql://root:localpassword@mysql:3306/paws?charset=utf8mb4"
      type: mysql
      upgrade: false

Seems to work fine.

How to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/toolforge/paws.git
cd paws
git checkout be3e177849da8cdac9d3a87e9735c297b3b69843

(Follow the instructions in README.md for setting up minikube) After the helm deploy, watch the mysql logs

kubectl  logs deployment/mysql -f

"(using password: NO)" Where I would hope to see "(using password: YES)"
