I am trying to develop a new stream on an existing connector, but when running it I get the following Exception message: Cannot invoke "io.airbyte.config.ConfiguredAirbyteStream.getDestinationSyncMode()" because "stream" is null. Did I miss something ?

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it appears that you're encountering a null pointer exception while developing a new stream for an existing Airbyte connector. This type of error typically occurs when the system is trying to access a property or method of an object that is null. The specific error message you're seeing suggests that the
stream
object is null when the code is trying to call the
getDestinationSyncMode()
method on it. This could indicate that there's an issue with how the stream is being configured or initialized in your connector. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide specific information about developing new streams for existing connectors or this particular error message. Without more context about your connector development process or the specific code you're working with, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. However, here are a few general suggestions that might help: 1. Double-check that you've properly defined and configured your new stream in the connector's code. 2. Ensure that all required fields for the stream configuration are properly set. 3. Verify that the stream is being correctly added to the list of streams that the connector processes. 4. Review your connector's configuration to make sure it's correctly set up to handle the new stream. If you continue to face issues, you might want to: 1. Review Airbyte's documentation on connector development for any steps you might have missed. 2. Check Airbyte's GitHub repository or community forums for similar issues or additional guidance. 3. Consider reaching out to the Airbyte community or support channels with more details about your specific connector and development process. I apologize that I couldn't provide a more specific solution based on the available information. If you have more details about your connector development process or the specific code where this error is occurring, that could help in diagnosing the issue more accurately.
