Hi, it's me again ๐Ÿ˜… I'm having problems with Airflow UI. This is the error I'm getting. Do you have any idea about what's happening?
d
@antony_henao Did you just have this or have you had it for a while? What happens after refreshing or going to a different part of the app and then back? I currently have a merge request (https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/merge_requests/844) to resolve this as different people have had issues with it displaying or not.
a
@derek_knox I just started with the Meltano UI yesterday. Since then, I'm having such problem
It doesn't work even when I restart the UI
First, I executed this command
Copy code
meltano add orchestrator airflow
d
OK, so the page refresh does not work, thanks for confirming. Ah, OK. What
meltano --version
are you?
a
0.37.2
d
With
v.39
(Monday's release) we auto install Airflow for you in the background. OK. Can you try to create temp project using
v.39
and see if the issue persists? If it continues to not, then the MR I reference should resolve your issue once released.
a
After running, previous command this is what I get
Copy code
airflow is already present, use `meltano install` to install it.
so, I executed the command and now I able to run without problem
Copy code
meltano invoke airflow list_dags
but...The UI is not working
I just hope the info help you in some manner ๐Ÿ˜…
d
OK, interesting. Can you open the browser dev tools console and share (if any) errors there?
We appreciate it. It's on us that the UI isn't working and sorry for that.
a
No problem. How can I open de dev tools console?
d
With your browser in focus:
opt + cmd + i
if on a Mac
F12
should do it too
a
ok. Just a sec
Copy code

it's ok that way?
d
Is that for sure from the "console" tab?
It is, nm
a
yep...
I think mysql-logo.png error it's related to the fact I'm trying to integrat the mysql tap from Singer
so, I think you can omit that one
d
Yea, I just saw that and agree.
Nothing stands out regarding the Airflow UI, but the fact it's erroring at all may impact the Airflow UI from loading as expected.
Can you try temporarily
meltano init some_new_project
(making sure you don't do so in the existing project directory you're already in) and see if you get the Airflow UI to display? I'm going to try locally using
v0.37.2
a
Ok. I'll try
So...This is what I get
Copy code
Airflow installation is required.

Until this installation is automatic please follow the Installing Airflow documentation.
I'm going to execute
Copy code
meltano add orchestrator airflow
d
Before doing so go to the Orchestrate UI
Is there an "Install Airflow" button?
a
yeah
d
Cool, try that
a
d
Can you screenshot the Orchestration UI please? We release every week and I don't know which UI you're getting exactly.
a
message has been deleted
d
OK, then yes you need to do it via the CLI for
v0.37.2
.
Is it a hard requirement to stay on
0.37.2
?
a
jรก...
Now it's working...
Don't know what happened before
d
For the fresh installed project?
a
Nope. I can upgrade the Meltano version
yep
For the new project now is working
d
Cool, so that's what I'd expect. In the latest
0.39
we do a much better job communicating the install progress and also auto install for you.
For context the goal is to get to a CLI free experience. We'll still support both, but that's a goal to improve onboarding for less technical users like yourself
a
Ok, perfect. I've just upgraded it to
Copy code
0.39
Thanks, @derek_knox. I'll let you know if anything more comes up.
d
Cool. As mentioned I have the MR above to further improve this auto install experience. Excellent thank you. I'm out, but I'll be back tomorrow. Just let us know and please share any improvement ideas or pain points you have along the way.
a
Ok, I have a couple of ideas on my mind. I could share it with you tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜‰
d
Sounds good. Don't hesitate to create an issue or add thoughts to an existing one https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues.
