Developer Resources

Initialize your Development Environment

Install uv if you haven't already.

Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the tests subfolder and then run:

uv run pytest

You can also test the tap-google-play CLI interface directly using uv run:

uv run tap-google-play --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. Open the meltano.yml and follow any "TODO" items listed in the file.

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

# Install meltano
uv tool install meltano

# Install meltano
meltano config meltano set venv.backend uv

# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-google-play
meltano install

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-google-play --version

# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
meltano run tap-google-play target-jsonl
