Hi Hi, quite new to Meltano, might be a bit of a dumb question, but I am struggling a bit with the tap-smoke-test extractor and getting the config to work. The message I get when trying to test the extractor config is: Plugin configuration is invalid {"type":"RECORD","stream":"animals","record":{"id":1,"description":"Red-headed woodpecker","verified":true,"views":27,"created_at":"2021-09-22T010105Z"},"time_extracted":"2024-04-29T151354.548411+00:00"}

Are you on Windows?

Hi Reuben. Yes I am :)

It's a known issue I'm afraid: https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/8212 On the plus side, if you are getting

RECORD

messages back it means you have the extractor configured correctly!

Aaah okay, thank you. I was playing around earlier and managed to get this error Plugin configuration is invalid No RECORD message received which means the config was correct I assume x).

That one was probably correct, yeah. 🙂

aah okay, just wanted to double check. So will the extractor not work completely on windows or is is it only the test that throws out an error ? 🤔

Personally, I am only aware of the

config test

bug here, but you're milage may vary with other operations (see the docs). Worth noting that if you run via WSL, everything should work OK - including

config test

.

Aaah okay, thank you again for you help will try giving that a go 😄👍
