Hey I am trying to use tap-jaffle-shop-generator to make a tutorial and its got an ascii/utf problem which prevents it from behaving? Thoughts on debugging this further?
Copy code
meltano config tap-jaffle-shop test

it starts working again?

https://docs.meltano.com/reference/command-line-interface/#run Run requires something after a tap to consume or further process the data produced by the tap. For example
meltano run tap-jaffle-shop target-jsonl
To run the tap on its own, you can use the invoke command:
meltano invoke tap-jaffle-shop
