Issue with config file

[MrKim42]

Wonderful work here guys!
I'm new to coding and i'm trying to get this to work.

I just don't understand what to do with my JSON config file, and where to copy it.

I constantly get this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'config.json'

Can somebody help me ?

Thanks for your help, however I couldn't find the solution. In the link you sent me, they just say:

"Edit the Tap's config file (tap_config.json) to include any necessary credentials or parameters."

But they doesn't say how/where to edit this file ... And that's where I'm blocked at the moment ...

what to do with my JSON config file

I'm assuming this means you have a config file. So then you just need to know the path to that file.

If you move the config file into the tap repo, then running the tap is basically

/path/to/virtualenv/tap-klavio/bin/tap-klavio -c my_config.json

If you don't put the config file in the same repo, then it'll look something like

/path/to/virtualenv/tap-klavio/bin/tap-klavio -c /path/to/my_config.json

doesn't say how/where to edit this file

Pick your favorite text editor and create/edit a file called tap_config.json or something

I'm having the same issue and my config.json file at the top level of my tap repo. ei tap-covid-19/config.json . I'm getting this error when running the tap outside of the virtual environment from the command line.

/c/Users/username/Envs/tap-covid-19/Scripts/tap-covid-19 --config config.json --catalog catalog.json | /c/Users/username/Envs/target-csv/Scripts/target-csv --config config.json

Says neither config file can be found.
