Usage

You can easily run tap-socketdev by itself or in a pipeline using Meltano.

Executing the Tap Directly

tap-socketdev --version
tap-socketdev --help
tap-socketdev --config CONFIG --discover > ./catalog.json

Developer Resources

Initialize your Development Environment

uv tool install poetry
poetry install

Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the tests subfolder and then run:

poetry run pytest

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

poetry run tap-socketdev --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.

Next, install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

# Install meltano
uv tool install meltano
# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-socketdev
meltano install

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-socketdev --version
# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
meltano elt tap-socketdev target-jsonl
