Hey Everyone, Some context: OS: Ubuntu in WSL2 for Windows I'm experiencing a very strange permissions issue related to a custom tap that I built. I have added the tap to my meltano project and successfully installed this tap and the others in my project using

meltano install

many times, invoked it alone, utilized it in a

meltano run

pipeline, etc. The project repo on github was transferred to an organization account (it seems that this was the root cause of the issues outlined below). I transferred the repo back to my user account, thinking this might resolved the problem. The issue is that now when I go to install the custom tap I get the following error message:

jcohen@WIN-10-COHEN:~/meltano-dev/etl-overhaul-testing$ meltano install extractor tap-progressopenedge
Installing 1 plugins...
Installing extractor 'tap-progressopenedge'...

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '.gitignore'

I have no trouble installing other standard taps in my project:

jcohen@WIN-10-COHEN:~/meltano-dev/etl-overhaul-testing$ meltano install extractor tap-postgres
Installing 1 plugins...
Installing extractor 'tap-postgres'...
Installed extractor 'tap-postgres'

Troubleshooting performed thus far: • I've checked the file permissions on the .gitignore file and they haven't changed (though it's unclear from the error which .gitignore file is causing the issue). • I've ensured I'm authenticated with github using the GitHub CLI • I've removed, and re-added the custom tap. • I and another person testing the tap have tried to install the tap in a project on the windows OS receiving the following error:

ERROR: HTTP error 404 while getting <https://github.com/Jcohen010/tap-progressopenedge.git>
ERROR: Could not install requirement <https://github.com/Jcohen010/tap-progressopenedge.git> because of HTTP error 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: <https://github.com/Jcohen010/tap-progressopenedge> for URL <https://github.com/Jcohen010/tap-progressopenedge.git>

I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, I hope someone has some useful insights. Thanks guys! Justin

I'm able to do

meltano install

after adding that as a custom plugin, so it's probably something to do with WSL.

Hm, for some reason, I created a whole new project from scratch and installed the tap just fine...

@visch might know better

wsl works good but keep file system stuff seperate to windows and you'll be ok. re https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/filesystems#file-storage-and-performance-across-file-systems For what happened to you it's hard to tell without seeing your meltano.yml but a real simple fix is

meltano install --clean

which wipes out the out files that were around for your

venvs

another easy option is to just

rm -rf .meltano

So I tried running

rm -rf .meltano

and it turns out the custom taps venv directory inside the .meltano folder somehow had its permissions changed as all other venvs in the project were deleted accept to that one, which returned permission denied errors. I manually deleted the tap's venv and successfully reinstalled it without any issue. Any idea how that could happen?

It would only happen from something you did Justin so I don't know! Could be a run on the same folder from inside windows instead of wsl, I'm not sure
