Error on creating production database in minitest

[HiramHerrera]

Hi,

@alxogm and I are trying to run the minitest notebook and it goes well up cell 42 of https://github.com/desihub/desitest/blob/master/mini/minitest.ipynb

where it gets an Assertion Error:

creating production database and setup script
desi_pipe create --db-postgres --force --data /global/cscratch1/sd/hiramk/minitest-19.12/spectro/sim/mini --redux /global/cscratch1/sd/hiramk/minitest-19.12/spectro/redux --prod mini

---> 11     assert err == 0
     12     # assert os.path.exists(desispec.io.get_pipe_database())
     13     print('SUCCESS')

AssertionError: 

I tried to get a bit more information of the cause of this error by creating a log file and this is the output

ERROR:db.py:1150:_open: fe_sendauth: no password supplied

Any help is appreciated
