Hi hi I might be missing something, I'm trying to load some mock data using the tap-smoke-test extractor into a Big Quary dataset the tap-smoke-test tap works fine. I'm just having some trouble with configuring the Loader and setting my default credentials. however when I follow the instructions and set the default credentials I still get the same error. I tried setting the path to the credentials to only get the error that the file or directory could not be found. I am using WSL-ubuntu not too sure if that information is relevant. I'm still quite new to all of this any help would be appreciated 🙏

I'm not sure wsl ubuntu can access your C drive location, can you move it to your home directory in wsl and try again?

Are you able to authenticate yourself as a user / principal that has permission to write to the dataset? If so, you can just remove the ref to the json and run
gcloud auth application default login
before you run your meltano command and then run the meltano command

Thank you 🙌 It was because I had the whole path from C drive I just changed it to application_default_credentials.json and it seems to have fixed the error 😀

No problem. That probably means it's looking in the meltano project directory itself, or perhaps in the home directory for your wsl user.
