Hi all - I am trying to get started using the CDK, but I am really struggling to get anywhere. While trying to follow the instructions, I am able to run`./generate.sh`. But next, the instructions say:
then follow the interactive prompt. Next, find all `TODO`s in the generated project directory -- they're accompanied by lots of comments explaining what you'll need to do in order to implement your connector. Upon completing all TODOs properly, you should have a functioning connector.
I didn't encounter any interactive prompt - it just says "Finished running generator" (see screenshot 🧵 ). And where is the "generated project directory"?

Hey, could you upload the screenshot? The
./generate.sh
script should ask you which kind of connector you want to create, as well as ask you to input the connector's name. When generated, your new connector's directory can be found in
airbyte/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-<connector-name>
if it's a source connector or
airbyte/airbyte-integrations/connectors/destination-<connector-name>
if it's a destination connector. There should be a readme in there with more info, and the TODOs will be found as comments in files within that dir.

Hi. use this guide instead for beginners https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/cdk-speedrun/ After running the
npm run generate
command to get started you need to go to
airbyte-integrations\connectors\your-connector-name
once you are there you can start building the source or destination.
you can also use this link for a quick (outdated though but still working) tutorial
