XRAY: How to resolve "invalid userinfo" RabbitMQ Connection Error in ArgoCD Deployments

Issue

When deploying Xray via ArgoCD, the startup may fail with the following error:

2025-10-14T14:23:04.949Z [33m[jfxr ][0m [31m[WARN ][0m [d67882897dbe073b] [health_metrics_service:293  ] [MainServer           ] Could not get port from RabbitMq connection string:failed to get parse rabbitmq connection string
 --- at /go/src/jfrog.com/xray/xray/backend/backend/service/metrics/healthmetrics/health_metrics_service.go:315 (getRabbitMqPort) ---
Caused by: parse "amqp://**:***@xray-rabbitmq:5672/%2F": net/url: invalid userinfo

This is caused by special characters (e.g., @, :, /) in the RabbitMQ username or password. Within the ArgoCD/Helm deployment context, these characters are interpreted as reserved characters and break the URL parsing logic for the connection string.


Resolution

Update the RabbitMQ credentials in your ArgoCD/Helm values file to be strictly alphanumeric.

Example values.yaml:

rabbitmq:
    auth:
        # Ensure these values contain ONLY letters and numbers (a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
        username: guest
        password: SecurePassword402064
