When I do a meltano run on a task that I have meltano now installs all of the needed plugins (this is great!) I've seen this fail on portions of my job that are tasks, like
alembic:upgrade
for example
Copy code
- name: data_2_csv
  tasks:
  - alembic:upgrade dbt:drop_source_ad dbt:drop_source_bamboohr
    tap-bamboohr target-postgres
Our task is a bit longer than this but just wanted to illustrate the point. I'm guessing dbt tasks would fail too then?
Is this just me or should I get an issue in? Thought I'd ask
e
Can you create an issue? I'm very curious about how it's failing.
I'm wrong, going to delete and resubmit as my case doesn't work

I can't reproduce the issue I had locally,
Copy code
autoidm-transform-py3.10visch@DESKTOP-9BDPA9T:~/git/beci$ meltano run data_2_csv_netsuite

After I removed
.meltano
and reran everything my alembic utility installs fine. No idea

One of the venvs might've gotten to a bad state 🤷. Something to keep an eye out for.

yeah, it must be! Reinstall worked, I really thought it was something with the auto installer missing alembic and I was just wrong
e
rm -rdf .meltano
is our "have you tried turning it off and on again?" ig 😅

meltano install also worked fine, it's a bunch of assumptions from me. I think after an install started I probably ctrl+c'd a process and borked me
