Hi Meltano Team! I'm wondering if you could point me in the right direction for how to troubleshoot the adding of a custom tap. I'd love to be able to use Meltano to pull data from several locations, the most important of which is a mysql database. There's a singer tap available (https://github.com/singer-io/tap-mysql) which I've been able to get running ok on it's own (I can run the commands in the CLI and get it to pipe records to stdout). I've also added to

meltano.yml

such that I can see it showing up in the UI as a tap and set up a pipeline. However, when I try to Test Connection or run the pipeline, it's unable to connect and I'm getting "Subprocess didn't exit cleanly" errors in the logs. Any suggestions for where I should investigate next?

Hi! Have you taken a look at https://www.meltano.com/tutorials/create-a-custom-extractor.html#create-a-custom-extractor

Thanks! I had seen this, but had thought that this was for taps/targets being written entirely from scratch instead of existing taps/targets pulled from other repos (e.g. why would I need to use a cookiecutter template if I can just clone an existing repo?)

Thanks for your feedback — hit me up if you need anything else.

thanks, will do!
