Hi everyone, when we add custom extractor or loader we need to pass certain STDIN parameters, how can we avoid passing all this from STDIN and include all as part of complete command parameter itself Example - when we use
meltano add --custom extractor tap-slack
it will ask some STDIN parameters can we somehow pass with this command itself

@ojasvi_harsola This is not currently supported, since we expected that users will mostly run this on their local machines during development where the prompts would be helpful. There's no reason we can't also support command arguments, though! Would you like to create an issue in https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano? In the mean time, you can use
printf
to generate the correct stdin input and pipe it into
meltano add --custom
like we do here: https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/blob/master/.gitlab/ci/sample_code.gitlab-ci.yml#L208 You can also directly add a custom plugin definition to
meltano.yml
