Meltano

Is there a good way to set stream metadata (specifically, to set `replication-method: LOG_BASED`) in a tap’s test suite?

I see that MeltanoLabs tap-postgres does this: <https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-postgres/blob/d3e6c7e61139f437ad150c2995c094cc30bdfc42/tests/test_log_based.py#L43-L54> - is there a better way than that?

I think they were trying something in target-snowflake that is simpler, but I haven't dove for this exact thing so I'm not sure

A "test helper" class would probably be the easiest way to get there and we could slap it in the sdk

<https://github.com/meltano/sdk/tree/main/singer_sdk/testing> is the Meltano version of the helpers I'm talking about. I don't think they have what you're asking as this the approach here I believe we focused on "standardizing tests" to a few stable workflows.

I'm sure they'd be cool with a helper class being added or something like that!
