Hey guys, I’m adding a custom extractor to existing project, and I found out about
meltano add --custom extractor
command, but I’m having an issue. I’m following the steps from docs, and I’m getting the following error: ERROR: extract/tap-iaphub-us-pain is not a valid editable requirement. It should either be a path to a local project or a VCS URL I tried two approches, when prompted with pip_url configuration: 1. Local path to project ◦ -e extract/tap-iaphub-us-painc ◦ -e /Users/zlatangoralija/Documents/Projects/singer-v2/tap-iaphub-us-pain 2. Git repo: git+https://github.com/zlatangoralija/tap-iaphub-us-pain.git I get the same error each time. What am I doing wrong? The tap-iaphub-us-pain is developed using cookiecutter template, so everything should be there Appreciate any help

Hi Zlatan. I can confirm the editable installation works after cloning the repo:
Copy code
$ gh repo clone edgarrmondragon/tap-jotform extract/tap-jotform
$ meltano add --custom extractor tap-jotform
...
(pip_url) [tap-jotform]: -e extract/tap-jotform
...
Added extractor 'tap-jotform' to your Meltano project

Installing extractor 'tap-jotform'...
Installed extractor 'tap-jotform'
I can also use a git url:
git+<https://github.com/edgarrmondragon/tap-jotform.git>
, so you may wanna take a look at the error output
Copy code
fatal: repository '<https://github.com>...'  not found
because copy-pasting and editing values in the prompt may not be WYSIWYG

Thanks for the info, I will double check everything now
