I'd be curious to get some thoughts on some tap "data tests" that I was prototyping with the sdk. With

tap-slack

, I was thinking of having some automated tests that hit a sandbox workspace. My approach was basically: 1. Write a utility function to parse

stdout

singer records into a summary object. 2. Write a utility function that takes a stream name, runs

stream.sync()

, parses the records, and applies a catalog-schema-vs-record-schema test, and a record-count-greater-than-0 test. 3. Call the utliity function for each stream Full code is here -- https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-slack/blob/9bac8957413c16a146632ef47f921d4d8051684a/tests/test_core.py#L25 -- but the instantiated test is as simple as:

def test_channels_sync(capsys, tap_slack):
    standard_stream_test(tap_slack, "channels", capsys)

Works well for top-level streams, but it looks like directly running

ChildStream.sync()

will yield no records, because the context isn't passed in. Curious if anyone has any thoughts or has implemented something similar?
