hi all, I've made a custom plugin for a billing system called ruddr and I'm having an issue actually running.

block violates set requirements: Unknown command type or bad block sequence at index 1, starting block 'tap-ruddr'

i have added and invoked my plugin successfully from what I can tell, and I'm using the jsonl loader meltano run tap-ruddr target-jsonl wondering if there's anything obvious I'm missing

what does your meltano.yml look like and can you rerun with

meltano --log-level=debug run …

to see if there’s more info

• debug output • meltano.yml

I suspect it’s something with the pip url and how

run

vs

invoke

is pulling the code in. @Will Da Silva (Arch) do you know off the top of your head what might be the problem?

it is

I’m looking at https://docs.meltano.com/tutorials/custom-extractor#1-use-the-meltano-add-command and we recommend something like

-e ../tap-rudder

as the pip_url

ok yeah i have -e .

yeah, I just don’t know why that would work for invoke but not run

did i perhaps miss a step around packaging an executable?

You have target json l defined as an extractor

sorry - was on a call. I didn’t even notice that @visch

Just happened to see it! Easy to miss the error message was like hmm

i had it loaded up twice, once as an extractor and once as a loader. ripping it all out and redoing the config again must have fixed it

that’s the meltano equivalent of “have you tried turning it off and on again?”

onto a new error! this one actually seems to involve schema mapping to the actual data, which i think i know what to look at next for

😄

thank you very much @taylor and @visch
