@douwe_maan I am trying to set up the bing ads tap right now and I can't seem to get the config to populate off of my env vars. Is there something special I need to do to use env vars with custom taps?

@nevin_morgan Nope, if the env vars are listed in

meltano config <extractor> list

, setting them should work right away

ahhhhhh I didn't run list and the name for the env vars is different than what I entered in .env

Did the names not match what you expected them to be?

my meltano.yml file is empty for some reason. Not sure if that should be the case or not. Yeah they make sense looking at them I just added tap_ to the front

my meltano.yml file is empty for some reason.

Well that's certainly not right, since all of the

meltano add

and

meltano config

write directly to that file...

yeah, the meltano.yml file is empty in my project directory

@nevin_morgan But

meltano config tap-bing list

works?

yup

That blows my mind, because that command reads directly from

meltano.yml

...

sure
