If I have a record in /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf which specifically trusts my specific user
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
local all myuser trust
Since I'm on debian I restart postgresql like this
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
Here is my entire source file testing this out:
const pg = require('pg');
const connectionString = "postgres://myuser:mypassword@localhost/mydbname";
const client = new pg.Client(connectionString);
client.connect();
const query = client.query('SELECT * FROM USERS');
query.on('end', () => { client.end(); });
and this is the error I consistently get:
error: password authentication failed for user "myuser"
at Connection.parseE (/home/myuser/webserver/node_modules/pg/lib/connection.js:539:11)
at Connection.parseMessage (/home/myuser/webserver/node_modules/pg/lib/connection.js:366:17)

It's also worth noting that doing the following works:
psql -h localhost -U myuser mydb
What am I doing wrong here?
As the documentation states, local is only for UNIX socket connections, while you are establishing a TCP connection to localhost.
Use a line like this:
host all myuser 127.0.0.1/32 trust
to trust all connections from localhost using IPv4 (use the adress ::1/128 for IPv6).
