Hi guys, I am following the example from the Meltano academy. I am confused, it says to update the configuration file, but there is none. That configuration is now don ein the client.py? thanks

the config is accessed via

meltano config

with your plugin name (eg a tap or target) eg for a target for

target-s3-csv

you can access config for that via

meltano config target-s3-csv list

these hold secrets and stuff so they’re not held in the yml. You can map those configs automatically in the

meltano.yml

file by referencing environment variables you set in your

.env

file (or actual environment variables when deploying) eg. from

meltano.yml

Copy code

loaders:
  - name: target-s3
    namespace: target_s3
    pip_url: <pip name for installing package
    executable: target-s3
    settings:
    - name: aws_auth_method
      env: TARGET_S3_AWS_AUTH_METHOD
    - name: aws_role_arn
      env: TARGET_S3_AWS_ROLE_ARN
    - name: aws_role_session_name
      env: TARGET_S3_AWS_ROLE_SESSION_NAME
    - name: naming_convention
      env: TARGET_S3_S3_NAMING_CONVENTION
    - name: aws_access_key_id
      env: TARGET_S3_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    - name: aws_access_key_secret
      env: TARGET_S3_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
    - name: s3_bucket
      env: TARGET_S3_BUCKET_NAME
