Hi everyone, We have configured multiple plugins (the same tap) in meltano.yml by inheriting

inherit_from

the same tap and deployed Meltano app in container and successfully ran a pipeline. After removing

inherit_from

and configuring plugin separately (the same tap but with different name) in meltano.yml file, Meltano gives the following error. Reverting meltano.yml file to previous version doesn't help and gives the same error:

ELT could not be completed: Cannot start extractor: Executable 'tap-exactonline' could not be found. Extractor 'Client1' may not havebeen installed yet using `meltano install extractor Client1`, or the executable name may be incorrect.

'tap-exactonline' - main tap name. 'Client1' - inherited tap name. Does anyone know or have experienced this problem? Please can anyone help on this issue? How we can fix this? Cc: @conno_kuyt

@zafar hey 👋 - can you provide your meltano.yml? I think that will help with debugging the problem

@zafar I dont see anything immediately obvious, have you tried reinstalling those two extractors? You can use

meltano install extractors Client2 tap-exactonline --clean

to clear out and reinstall

@pat_nadolny I ran

meltano install --clean

command on my local machine and it removed old virtual environment and created new one for extractors/loaders and it worked for me. But when I added the same command in Dockerfile but it didn't help.

# Install all plugins into the `.meltano` directory
COPY ./meltano.yml .
RUN meltano install --clean

@zafar hmm good to know its solved on your local, its just an image building problem then. I wonder if your image is being built from a cached version. Have you tried running with

--no-cache

or deleting the existing image off your local before building?

Yes, it was an image building problem. Thank you
