Hi all, I've been encountering some issues with Octavia and have tried asking on discuss.airbyte.io and/or filing Github issues without any response (one of which has been open for more than 5 months). Hoping someone here might be able to help: 1.

octavia import connection foo

fails Github issue: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/23953 Airbyte discussion topic: https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/octavia-get-import-connection-is-completely-broken/4199 Octavia will fail outright if you try to import/get a connection by name (even if it doesn't exist). Importing by UUID works, which is the workaround I've put in place. 2.

octavia apply

can't send certain fields that

octavia import

creates Github issue: Airbyte discussion topic: https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/unable-to-apply-airbyte-configuration-using-octavia-cli/4138/2 Github issue: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/19768 There are three fields (

geography

,

notify_schema_changes

, and

non_breaking_changes_preference

) that are included when you do an import, but then fail if you try to apply them back. You can manually remove these fields and rely on the default values, but then apply will think there are changes to be applied every single time.
