Environment setup

Let's first start by cloning the repository, optionally forking it first

git clone git@github.com:airbytehq/airbyte.git
cd airbyte

Use the Airbyte provided code generator which bootstraps the scaffolding for our connector:

cd airbyte-integrations/connector-templates/generator
./generate.sh

Select Python-source Set name to survey-monkey-demo

Next change your working directory to the new connector module. Then create an initial python environment and install the dependencies required to run an API Source connector:

cd ../../connectors/source-survey-monkey-demo
poetry install --with dev

Let's verify the unit tests pass

poetry run pytest unit_tests

And the check operation fails as expected

poetry run source-survey-monkey-demo check --config secrets/config.json

It should return a failed connection status

{
  "type": "CONNECTION_STATUS",
  "connectionStatus": {
    "status": "FAILED",
    "message": "Config validation error: 'TODO' is a required property"
  }
}

The discover operation should also fail as expected

poetry run source-survey-monkey-demo discover --config secrets/config.json

It should fail because TODO' is a required property

The read operation should also fail as expected

poetry run source-survey-monkey-demo read --config secrets/config.json --catalog integration_tests/configured_catalog.json

It should fail because TODO' is a required property

We're ready to start development. In the next section, we'll read a page of records from the surveys endpoint.
