Admittedly, It’s probably a fairly small use case that wants to keep the meltano project in the same repo as any custom taps/targets AND are allergic to setuptools.. I just happen to fall into it today 🙂

Hi Ian, how else would you manage custom taps? (Still new to this, but might run into what you are having now).
i
I think a lot of people check custom taps/targets into a separate repo.
Which does support PEP-517 since pip supports it for git-sourced installs (if you’re curious)
c
Okay, and how do you link them in meltano?
Or “import” them, better? Like this?:
pip_url: git+<https://gitlab.com/myrepos/tap-mycustomtab.git>
i
Yup

Okay, thank you. I’ll come back to this for sure at some point. But if the pip_url: approach helps me keep things separate and version controlled I’m fine for a while. Hope you get your issue sorted as well.
