I love being able to use `railway run` to automatically populate the DATABASE_URL in my development and I was expecting `railway connect Postgres` to function similarly by setting `PGPASSWORD` so I wouldn't need to pull down the password and could get to psql quickly, however, it is prompting me for my password. Is this expected? Is there another workflow I can use other than loading in PGPASSWORD manually?

just had a look at the cli code for connect, and it indeed does not set the password when connecting to postgre, but it does for the other database types. I will see what can be done about this, great catch!!

i have submitted a pr to fix this issue
<https://github.com/railwayapp/cli/pull/427>

no problem, im not sure when it will be released though so keep an eye out for that
