Hi everyone! I’m encountering a persistent error when adding any extractor (tested with

tap-csv

and

tap-spreadsheets-anywhere

). The installation fails during the Git phase. The Error:

error: Git operation failed
Caused by: process didn't exit successfully: `/usr/bin/git submodule update --recursive --init` (exit status: 1)
--- stderr
GNU gettext shell script function library version 0.22.5
Usage: . gettext.sh

Environment Details: • OS: Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) • Python: 3.12.10 • Meltano Version: meltano, version 4.0.8 • Installation Method: Installed via

uv

. Observations: Running

gettext --version

on my host machine works fine (v0.22.5), so the package is healthy. The error

Usage: . gettext.sh

suggests that when Meltano/Git calls the shell function library, it's being invoked incorrectly or the environment is missing the context to source it properly. 1. This happens within the virtual environment Meltano/UV creates at

.meltano/extractors/.../venv

. Has anyone seen

uv

-managed Meltano installations conflict with system Git/gettext like this? Any tips on environment variables I should check?

can you share how your environment is setup? Is it docker? If so share the docker file, etc Off hand it looks like git is failing, but I need more info then what you shared

Hi Derek! Thanks for the reply. To clarify the environment: This is a native Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS (Jammy) machine. • Meltano is installed via

uv

. •

git

and

gettext

are installed on the host system. gettext --version gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.22.5 Copyright (C) 1995-2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

No where near enough info man, sorry you're going to need to provide a lot more 😕

@Avinash Kurup can you share your (redacted)

meltano.yml
