Anyone else do this?

meltano install targetname

You must specify loader/extract blah blah arrrtgggg ok

meltano install loader targetname

Seems like meltano could be nice and if there's not duplicate tap/target names it could figure that out for you

Explicit is better than implicit! 😄 But yeah it'd be cool to do some introspection on the name and just sort it out. Realistically we won't prioritize this ourselves but would love an MR 🙂

Thanks for the heads up! Seems like an easy win for someone 🙂

Of course 😄

I'll just second that - yes, I've also run into this with

meltano add

and

meltano install

. I certainly wouldn't mind if we had the logic to infer the type. Would be hard for us to prioritize, as Taylor mentions, but certainly would be a nice-to-have. I'm reminded of homebrew, the package manager for Macs. They used to require explicitly mentioning

cask

for GUI apps and then moved to

--cask

and now don't require it. The danger, there and here, is that while most are multually-exclusive, there's still a small chance of getting the wrong thing, For example, in Homebrew now you can get the wrong docker package if you

brew install docker

instead of

brew install --cask docker

- since there historically was a cask and non-cask version of it.
