What am I missing in order to use local filesystem state? I have set the state backend to 'file:///Users/hayden.ness/meltano_test/state' (confirmed with config list) but all the commands seem to still insist on writing to systemdb. When running with a worker (rather than the parent tap), it doesn't even seem to care about state (no state no found message).

What does

meltano.yml

look like?

Resolved. While I originally copied and pasted from the docs, it seems I must have ended up writing URL instead of URI out of habit at some point.

Gotcha. We certainly could do a better way detecting typos in

meltano.yml

.
