Trying to use the
.env
file for an array configuration value.
Copy code
TARGET_APPRISE_URIS="[\"URI1\", \"URI2\"]"
Doesnt' work for me it just gets read in as a string. Maybe this just isn't doable with Meltano
.env
vars which is fine. I also can't find a docs page on Setting types.
kind: password
seems to only be mentioned in a few tutorials 🤔
https://meltano.slack.com/archives/CMN8HELB0/p1624547549124200 setting type of array looks to be needed. Can anyone find the docs on this? Found it https://docs.meltano.com/contribute/plugins#:~:text=with%20deprecated%3A%20true.-,Setting%20definitions,-Each%20extractor%20(tap I tried to search for Configuration , Settings. None of which got me there hmm Settings - https://docs.meltano.com/reference/settings Configuration - https://docs.meltano.com/guide/configuration
