Can't connect to db url that has username + password

[ColtonIdle]

New to backend dev, but im trying to use hikari and I can get a connection if I do

        val ds = HikariDataSource()
        ds.driverClassName = "org.postgresql.Driver"
        ds.jdbcUrl = "jdbc:postgresql://viaduct.proxy.rlwy.net:1234/railway"
        ds.username = "postgres"
        ds.password = "password"

But (im using railway as my host) railway has a env variable for the url and it comes through as a format of

postgresql://postgres:[email protected]:1234/railway
so I tried doing

    val ds = HikariDataSource()
    ds.driverClassName = "org.postgresql.Driver"
    ds.jdbcUrl = "jdbc:"+ THE_ENV_VAR

but the connection fails. Any ideas if this is because hiraki can't handle both username and password in the jdbc url?

postgres is the db username
