Hello, i'm using tap-gitlab and i see that it's hard coded that commits will be incremental update but it's not working for me, after investigation i found that state is not saved but when i launch

meltano elt tap-gitlab target..

I do have the message

meltano      | Incremental state has been updated at 2021-09-07 08:08:56.188865.

anybody has an idea on what's causing state to not be kept/used?

Does https://meltano.com/docs/integration.html#incremental-replication-not-running-as-expected help?

Ooh yes thank you !! the state is attached to the pipeline and so without a job_id it wouldn't be taken into account thank you i did not understand that before

Correct! Where could we have documented this more clearly? (cc @amanda.folson)

Well i didn't know that I had to create schedules to use state I was just running them manually for tests by doing

meltano elt...

and when I did

meltano elt --help

I didn't understand that --job_id was related to state at all, and since i wasn't looking for schedules i didn't come across the link you sent me before. So where

meltano elt

is documented, i don't know if it is documented that state won't work without creating a pipline and using the --job_id option but it would be great to mention it, it's kind of intuitive now that I know it but it wasn't clear to me before
