I try to configure a customized tap. With

meltano config tap-woocommerce

I get along other things the output:

start_date [env: TAP_WOOCOMMERCE_START_DATE] current value: '2019-09-01' (from meltano.yml)

The problem is that with the date as a string, I get the error

Executable tap-woocommerce not found

(I guess that means it's misconfigured) and if I put the date plain in the yaml, it starts to execute, but crashes with

TypeError: Object of type date is not JSON serializable

😞

@jonas_b

'2019-09-01'

should be a string, because without quotes YAML will interpret it as a

date

object which (as the error shows) cannot be serialized into JSON. We should be able to work around that though, by having Meltano automatically serialize it using the ISO8601 format. Would you like to create an issue for that error?
