Hi all - I'm having trouble to get the google-ads tap running. Error-Message, when running
meltano invoke tap-adwords
Copy code
Catalog discovery failed: command ['/home/ec2-user/meltano/prj_abc/.meltano/extractors/tap-adwords/venv/bin/tap-adwords', '--config', '/home/ec2-user/meltano/prj_abc/.meltano/run/tap-adwords/tap.aa8d8be9-1dcc-4be0-9662-0e0ee16a76ae.config.json', '--discover'] returned 1
Any hint is welcome.

Hi, just writing because I am debugging these taps all the time - the things I usually try in the beginning are:
Copy code
meltano --log-level=debug config tap-adwords test
OR
Copy code
meltano --log-level=debug invoke tap-adwords --discover
The logs should give you some more detail at what is going wrong. From there you have a better starting point to debug 👌

Thanks - appreciated a lot. I'm completely new to meltano and need to solve this :)

Hi Martin. If you didn't already have an API key for AdWords you can't get one anymore. See notice at the top of the developer docs: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/release-notes/v201809 @visch developed a tap, we developed that tap further. Neither are on the meltano hub yet as the meltano team were implementing a way to point people to this new tap of a different name in the hub. Confusing, sorry! This is the link to our docs, we've open sourced some dbt models too and test daily on Postgres & Snowflake currently. We will publish to the meltano hub asap https://www.matatika.com/docs/data-sources/tap-googleads/extractor

Note that the main google ads tap has some enhancements as well (start, end date, etc) , we should get all the features on one main branch if possible @aaron_phethean

Yes! Agreed.
