PGPASSWORD does not get recognized

[pcace]

Hi there,

in bash (Ubuntu 22.04) the environment variable PGPASSWORD is not recognized when using this:

export PGPASSWORD='secure'; cjdb import -H localhost -U user -d testcjdb -s cjdb -f LoD2_326625712.jsonl
what can be the reason for it? doing echo $PGPASSWORD clearly shows the password is in the environment.
But it still asks for the password.

Any help would be great!

Thanks :)
