MySQL Driver keeps asking for 'password' parameter

When trying to connect to my local MySQL database, to which I do not have any password setup, I get an error when running drizzle-kit migrate command.

Here's my drizzle.config.ts file, I double checked the docs but I can't seem to figure out what I'm missing out:
import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";

if (!process.env.DB_NAME) {
  throw new Error("ERROR: 'DB_NAME' env is not setup correctly!");
}

if (!process.env.DB_HOST) {
  throw new Error("ERROR: 'DB_HOST' env is not setup correctly!");
}

export default defineConfig({
  schema: "./src/db/schema/*",
  dialect: "mysql",
  out: "./src/db/migrations",
  migrations: {
    prefix: "timestamp",
  },
  dbCredentials: {
    host: process.env.DB_HOST,
    user: process.env.DB_USER,
    password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
    database: process.env.DB_NAME,
  },
  strict: true,
  verbose: true,
});


In my .env file I have the fields setup, and the DB_PASSWORD variable has an empty string value as there's no password associated with the database user.

The error that I get is Please provide required params for MySQL driver: and the password field is marked with an X and an empty string value.
