I’m trying to add private GitLab repo for a plugin...

I’m trying to add private GitLab repo for a plugin which requires a token. I’m wanting to use an env var within the

pip_url

to supply the token, but for some reason I can’t get the env var to render in my

meltano.yaml

— does anyone have a suggestion or work around?

This is what I have:

Copy code

- name: tap-custom
    pip_url: private-tap-custom --extra-index-url ${PIP_URL}

I can hardcode the

extra-index-url

and run

meltano install

and it works as expected — once I start adding env vars it wont render in the yaml and results in an error

Does env expansion work in pip_urls / things under plugins? I'm not sure if it does ❓

I set the URL to the pre-defined env var

PIP_INDEX_URL

Ugh… I can’t believe I missed this on the docs.. I was searching and searching only to see it on the General Usage page 😆 — thank you so much!

No problem at all I think I always search for repo, pip url as well and forget to type index in. I only remembered because you had index already!
