Hi, I’m trying to use meltano with tap-mongodb and I’m not able to connect. Tried the `meltano ui`but always gives “invalid Extractor Connection - tap-mongodb” and using

meltano elt tap-mongodb target-postgres

gives:

ELT could not be completed: Cannot start extractor: Catalog discovery failed: command ['/Users/kimus/Develop/eattasty/meltano/mongo2pg/mongo2pg/.meltano/extractors/tap-mongodb/venv/bin/tap-mongodb', '--config', '/Users/kimus/Develop/eattasty/meltano/mongo2pg/mongo2pg/.meltano/run/elt/mongo2pg/599470ac-e8f0-4274-b7b1-cb97ed7d0aad/tap.config.json', '--discover'] returned 1: CRITICAL Authentication failed.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong. The connection settings works fine in mongo client.

> meltano config tap-mongodb
{
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 27017,
  "user": "test",
  "password": "test,
  "database": "test",
  "ssl": "false",
  "verify_mode": "true",
  "include_schemas_in_destination_stream_name": true
}

Have you tried using differing variants of localhost? Maybe

<http://localhost>

or

127.0.0.1

? Looking at https://github.com/singer-io/tap-mongodb/blob/master/tap_mongodb/__init__.py#L361 it doesn’t seem like it’s doing anything to actually validate it’s a URL.

@salmon-salesclerk-77709 log level debug doesn’t add much more information. I’ve open the auth.py and found out that it’s trying to connect by

MONGODB-CR

mechanism. Not sure why and how to set this.

Oh interesting. I’m not sure what that does.

authSource is the database to ‘check’ the authentication

whew glad you sorted it! Happy to be a rubber duck for folks on here 😄

I’ve passed the auth problem… now I need to pass other steps, but I’m glad this one is behind 😄
