Meltano

Hello all,

I just created my first tap using the cookie-cutter sdk. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug the tap on vscode? (a launch.json file example would be much appreciated)

Were you able to check code using meltano ? I have developed a tap on my local machine on windows, I need to export that to linux server.

Hey <@U06CQSJ5KFT>! This thread might be helpful for you <https://meltano.slack.com/archives/C01PKLU5D1R/p1634403425346000?thread_ts=1634399627.345400&amp;cid=C01PKLU5D1R>

To summarize though - what I did was created a <https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-google-analytics/blob/bc499677f44d2f5ba30ee2c0ebb020ba73edc84a/tap_google_analytics/tap.py#L335|main in my tap.py> which gets referenced by the launch.json Matt included in his with a small tweak. Mine looks something like this:
```{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Current File",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}/tap_google_analytics/tap.py",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "args": ["--config", "config.json"]
        }
    ]
}```

Yep just hit "Run -&gt; Start Debugging" and put some break points in there

Awesome thanks! And did you ever fall on an error like this?

I think it's because taps is not including my streams before running, but I'm not sure

UPDATE:

It works. Had some issues using my venv, so I modified the config file by adding en path to my env

```{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Current File",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}/tap_hubspot/tap.py",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "args": ["--config", ".secrets/config.json", "|", "target-jsonl"],
            "env": { "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceRoot}"}
        }
    ]
}```
