cookiecutter write_schema(): JSON not serializable about singer-tap-template HOT 4 OPEN

Awesome guys! I was running into the same problem, and your solution works for me, too. Thanks!

Since it seems Singer Slack channel is free (thus has message limits and will make history not accessible), I'm copy-pasting the message with the workaround solution:

Hi.
Just starting out with Singer, and currently building a tap on the cookiecutter Python template (https://github.com/singer-io/singer-tap-template).

I keep running into a TypeError: Schema(...) is not JSON serializable in

singer.write_schema(
    stream_name=stream.tap_stream_id,
    schema=stream.schema,
    key_properties=stream.key_properties
)

unless I convert Schema to dict first

singer.write_schema(
    stream_name=stream.tap_stream_id,
    schema=stream.schema.to_dict(),
    key_properties=stream.key_properties
)

Is there a better, recommended way than in the cookiecutter template to build the Schema, so as to avoid this?

Thanks also to Rebecca Sanjabi for linking to Steven's original message.

I tested and the solution works.

I had the same problem that I managed to trace back further upstream.

It seems like the catalog command line argument isn't getting passed so that sync mode is falling back to calling discover instead of reading the catalog.

if args.catalog: catalog = args.catalog else: catalog = discover() sync(args.config, args.state, catalog)

It seems discover() is returning the Schema class which is not JSON Serializable.

Here's the traceback I get when running the following command: ~/.virtualenvs/tap-woocommerce/bin/tap-woocommerce --config tap-woocommerce/config.json --catalog tap-woocommerce/catalog.json | ~/.virtualenvs/target-csv/bin/target-csv

The fixes proposed earlier work, but hopefully this helps solve the root problem.
