can you share your meltano.yml file
a
meltano.yml.yaml
I've tried a few different meltano commands to add different taps / targets but I get the same error each time
j
i couldn't get that example to build either
what meltano version?
my guess is there is a breaking change with that tap and meltano in the last 7 months
a
$ meltano --version meltano, version 2.12.0
Interesting. I also couldn't run
Copy code
$ meltano discover extractors

yeah thats latest meltano, it would probably work with a pre version 2 meltano

I thought it might be an install issue of mine, since it's my first time running locally
Let me try the actual tutorial on the website
All works. False alarm! Apologies
As feedback, this above error could be slightly more informative
w
Agreed. @archie_sarre_wood could you please share how you initially installed Meltano so that I can reproduce this error?
a
Copy code
pip install meltano

git clone <https://github.com/aaronsteers/aj-dataops-personal> demo

cd demo 

meltano invoke tap-rickandmorty --help
w
What is the output of
pip -V
?
a
pip 22.3.1 from /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)
I think pretty up to date
I'd imagine that the above is not a typical way to install meltano, but I was finding the tutorial slightly hard going so I wanted to find a project which had some pre configured taps and targets
and I remembered AJs from a demo day
a
Hi, @archie_sarre_wood. My
aj-dataops-personal
project is admittedly a bit stale, but if you find any issues I can fix there I'm happy to take a PR or make a fix on my side. The official demo projects should be a bit more stable - but either way we'll try to fix whatever is not working.

I have reproduced the error. I'll open an issue in the Meltano repository shortly. Thanks @archie_sarre_wood!
