Hello all, I am using tap-recharge and target-redshift and when i am running the pipeline i am facing below error:

If someone faced the similar problem or can add some point then it would very helpful Thank you so much. @edward_ryan @jo_pearson

@monika_rajput hmm it looks like its a problem with parsing the record datetime here. Youre getting records from the API in this get_records method but when retrieving the replication key, which is updated_at for the orders stream, its present but its just an empty string. Or this might be yielding a single empty record. I wonder if there was a change to the API or if maybe the whole record is coming back as empty strings. Looks like theres an open issue.

@monika_rajput to @pat_nadolny’s point, it looks like people started reporting this error around the time recharge updated the API. I'm not seeing anything in the gap's change log that would explain the error but it's something we can look into

Thank you so much @pat_nadolny I'am so sorry, i missed this thread. It's all make sense. @jo_pearson we need to dig deep into the code.
