this is a question on a tap.. if this should go somewhere else let me know.. but I followed the docs for

tap-csv

in a attempt to just test something basic.. while following the tutorial.. https://meltano.com/plugins/extractors/csv.html#installation-and-configuration

meltano select tap-csv --list --all
[2021-08-05 20:10:35,316] [175215|MainThread|meltano.core.plugin.singer.tap] [WARNING] A catalog file was found, but it will be ignored as the extractor does not advertise the `catalog` or `properties` capability
Legend:
        selected
        excluded

I will google a bit more but.. it sounds like I need to add or config something for my extractor to work ? Thanks my config looks like this

version: 1
send_anonymous_usage_stats: true
project_id: some_id
plugins:
  extractors:
  - name: tap-csv
    variant: meltano
    pip_url: git+<https://gitlab.com/meltano/tap-csv.git>
    config:
      files:
        - entity: example
          file: extract/example_data.csv
          keys: [col1, col2, col3, description, timestamp]

The instructions talk about if this

select

command fails with an Error... but this output looks like just a warning.. but is it the same?

If this command fails with an error, this usually means that the Singer tap does not support catalog discovery mode , and will always extract all supported entities and attributes.

meltano.yml

looks good.

meltano select tap-csv --list --all

will raise that warning because

tap-csv

doesn't support a catalog, so there's nothing to worry about there. I believe you should be able to invoke the tap as is simple smile

Thank you Edgar, I thought so.. after re-reading the docs.. but maybe one suggestion on that doc then is instead of saying "Command fails with an Error" to "Command emits a Warning"

you're right, noted! Also, if you're willing to contribute the documentation change that'd be greatly appreciated. The source is https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/blob/master/docs/src/docs/getting-started.md#L260-262 simple smile
