Developer Resources

Initialize your Development Environment

poetry install

Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the tests subfolder and then run:

poetry run pytest

You can also test the tap-getcensus CLI interface directly using poetry run:

poetry run tap-getcensus --help

Testing with Meltano

Note: This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano. Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios.

Your project comes with a custom meltano.yml project file already created. Install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

# Install meltano
pipx install meltano

# Update all plugin definitions
meltano lock --update --all

# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-getcensus
meltano install

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-getcensus --version

# OR run a pipeline:
meltano run tap-getcensus target-jsonl
