hey, i am new to meltano, and i can write my state file to terminal, but i can't figure how to dump it to stdout, so that i can modify it will an earlier date and rerun. can someone post the syntax to get it to stdout? thanks!

You mean you want to dump it to a file? Add

> filename

at the end of that command!

but i need to modify this to stdout.... or to pass an override into a schedule job run to force an earlier incremental date etc

Ah, you can pass a modified state file into

meltano elt

using

--state <path>

not sure how to write that for dumpint to a file name

To dump current state to a file:

meltano elt ... --dump=state > state.json

To use that state in a new pipeline:

meltano elt ... --state state.json

thanks douwe. where is the defaul dump location for the file.... i can't see to find it.

It will be in your current working directory

Thank you!
