Has anyone else run into issues where a newly-installed tap seems to run successfully (e.g. no errors thrown) but also without any logs indicating successful data transfer? I originally thought this was a problem specific to a particular tap, but I’ve now seen it happen with
tap-jira
,
tap-mailchimp
, and
tap-typeform
, which makes me think I’m missing something a little more fundamental. if I do
meltano select tap-mailchimp --list
for all of these, I get “Cannot list the selected attributes: Could not find catalog. Verify that the tap supports discovery mode and advertises the
discover
capability as well as either
catalog
or `properties`“. While the docs for these taps aren’t extensive, I think based on a scan of the code (here’s an example) that discovery mode is supported. Anyone have ideas on where I should dig next?
Couple of other data points here: • Each of these three taps yields slightly different outputs in the logs, but still nothing indicating success or failure •
tap-mailchimp
returns the same results regardless of whether or not I provide an API key, which makes me think the problem is upstream of any authentication process • I didn’t have explicit lists of tables in the
select
portion of
meltano.yml
at first, but I’ve tried that as well. No change.

@calm-hair-50010 What
capabilities
have you listed for these plugins? Are you including
discover
and
catalog
?

ah! do you need to list those explicitly? I didn’t do that for other (working) taps
tap-mailchimp
seems to be running now with those added in
meltano.yml
! No success yet on
tap-jira
though, so now I know I have at least two problems 🙂

Yep, Meltano won't know that the tap supports discovery or a catalog unless you tell it 🙂 Not knowing that, it would run the tap in sync mode without a
--catalog
at all, and neither of these branches would be entered: https://github.com/singer-io/tap-mailchimp/blob/master/tap_mailchimp/__init__.py#L37-L43

yeah, that’s definitely what happened - I’m gonna let mailchimp finish syncing and see if that also solves typeform (I suspect it will). Once I get those going, I’ll circle back on jira. Thanks!
