During my exploration of Meltano, I encountered an issue related to the configuration of CSV extractor. After configuring the extractor, I proceeded to test it, but unfortunately, Meltano displayed an error indicating that the extractor was not properly configured. In this discussion, I would like to share my experience and seek assistance from the community to resolve this problem. Problem Description Configuration Process: I followed the documentation and guidelines provided to configure the desired extractor within Meltano. This involved specifying the necessary parameters and credentials required for the extractor to connect to the data source. Testing the Extractor: Once the extractor was configured, I attempted to test it using the provided testing functionality in Meltano. However, upon executing the test command, an error message was displayed stating that the extractor was not configured correctly. System: MacBook Pro, running on macOS Ventura 13.2.1. meltano.yml file: version: 1 default_environment: dev project_id: 0f3dfccb-fbc9-49f5-94c7-6ed7c63dda3d environments: • name: dev • name: staging • name: prod • plugins: • extractors: • name: tap-csv • variant: meltanolabs • pip_url: git+https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-csv.git • config: • csv_files_definition: input/csv/config.json ◦ add_metadata_columns: true config.json: { "csv_files_definition": "input/csv/files_def.json" } definition.json: [ { "entity": "customerData", "path": "input/csv/customerData.csv", "keys": ["Id"] } ] Commands used: For configuration: meltano config tap-csv set --interactive For testing: meltano config tap-csv test

@manish based on your configs you provided it looks like you might have the wrong file path for definition.json within the config.json. It refers to it as

files_def.json

but the file is actually

definition.json
