Problem when the password of the database ends with '.'

[ljarevalo]

Description of the problem

I want to inform you that there is a bug, I think, with the domserver installation. I have been searching for a week and I have not found any reference to it anywhere. In my case, I set the MySQL password that ends with the character '.' and the problem lies in the fact that when executing dj_setup_database, this character is treated as string concatenation, and consequently, the password doesn't work. I've solved the problem by changing the password.

Your environment

DOMjudge version (e.g. 8.3.2)
Operating system / Linux distribution and version (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 12)
Webserver (e.g. Apache)

Steps to reproduce

When the database passworkd ends with '.' and the command dj_setupdatabase is run: sudo bin/dj_setup_database -u root -r install, it doesn´t work since it is concatenated with more informatiion

sudo bin/dj_setup_database -u root -r install

Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException: "Malformed parameter "url".

Hi @ljarevalo,

I thought I could reproduce this locally but that was another issue. Can you provide more steps on how to reproduce? Did you use the tarball or docker?

I checked by starting a development container with our docker-compose and changing the passwords there to something ending with a .. That does work for me, also when I re-enter the container and use your specific invocation as you listed as steps to reproduce.

HI @vmcj

In docker, the installation works without any problems, however it only happened when the installations is made using a tarball installation.
