Hi, Can you provide some more details around the steps you were doing? Have you successfully created the Purchase table?

Also if you could provide a copy of the logs from the Engine that would be helpful to figure out what the issue is. Thanks.

Hi, this looks close to an issue we had yesterday and we pushed a fix to the instructions page #207

Could you try the following

./kaskada-cli load \                
    --table Purchase \
    --file-typoe csv \
    --file-path file://${PWD}/purchase.csv

Some things to note here

1. the file: portion needs 2 slashes
2. the file: portion worked for me after giving the full path. the ${PWD} will be replaced with the path to the current directory you are in at the moment.

I just ran in to this in a trial. The problem is that this returns an internal error, so the client gives you practically no information about what's wrong - even if you look at the process logs it just says "failed getting source metadata".

I think we should update the error messages to make it clear that the file you passed doesn't exist.

We have an issue #210 that includes a task for a better error message in the case when we cannot find the file at the location specified.

We could split that task into its own issue.
