Question mark in password breaks connection string

[Andrey]

When executing this line:

const conn = await amqp.connect(`amqp://${user}:${pass}@${host}:${port}`);

if pass contains a ? (e.g. abc?def) then only the part of the password before ? is being used, leading to authentication errors.

Any workaround?

Have you tried escaping it?

[Stephen Cresswell]

  const connection = await amqplib.connect('amqp://steve:pass%3Fword@localhost');

works for me
