Description

Affected version

0.5.0

Current and expected behavior

When using a password for accessing the database that contains special characters (in this case it was @ , but others may be problematic as well) the job that initializes the database fails and Superset is never started.

Expected behavior, passwords should work regardless of which characters they contain. Also, users should not be required to escape any characters in the passwords (except maybe if they create issues with yaml).

Research direction

The payload names no file or test; start by reproducing database initialization with a password containing @ and inspect how the operator passes that password to the database setup. Done means initialization succeeds and Superset starts without requiring users to escape password characters.
