I am trying to create a new connector using the UI, but the documentation on what to do with the exported yaml seems to be either incorrect or outdated or I am just confused. I am following Connector Builder UI | Airbyte Documentation 1. I start to have issues in the “Exporting the YAML” section, when it talks about overwrite the contents. It references a yaml file with the name of the connector but I don’t get a file like that I get a manifest.yaml. I used the connector generator talked about in this doc: Step 1: Generate the source connector project locally | Airbyte Documentation. I am able to follow step 1 and 2 without issues but I get lost in step 3 when it talks about a yaml file with same name as the connector, again I just have a manifest.yaml where the named file should be. If I take the content of the yaml from the UI builder and put it in manifest.yaml I get a successful connection when I run main.py check. In step 4 it talks about creating schema files, but doesn’t reference how to use the schema built in the UI builder. Is there any documentation for the UI Builder connector process, or anything I am missing?

@Branson Buchanan i think you’ve discovered out of date docs 😢 we’ll fix them! But there is only ever 1 YAML, the

manifest.yaml

what version of Airbyte OSS are you running?

0.40.32

@Branson Buchanan you don’t need to manage any separate files for schema. You can import the schema in the UI

After I export the yaml from the builder UI. Do I use the template generator and select configuration based source, then replace the content of /airbyte/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-connector-name/source_connector_name/manifest.yaml with content of the exported yaml?

yup!

Then do I install dependencies with: python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt After the dependencies install do I build the docker with: docker build . -t airbyte/source-<name>:<version>

@Branson Buchanan you can actually run

docker build

without the other commands. So if your goal is just to build a docker image you can run

docker build

and nothing else the other commands e.g

pip install

are only needed to iterate locally i.e if you want to run

python …

commands

I built the connector using “docker build . -t airbyte/source-keap-infusionsoft:0.1.0” then tried to add it on the sources page under settings using the new connectors button. Here are the settings I used for new connector: Display name: Keap-Infusionsoft Docker repo name: airbyte/source-keap-infusionsoft Docker image tag: 0.1.0 After I click add I get an error that says Fetching connector failed. Try again.

are you open to sharing your YAML file?

Sure

@Branson Buchanan I think this is a bug in the UI. To fix it: 1. edit line

839

in the YAML you shared so that

documentationUrl

is a real URL like

<https://docs.airbyte.com>

or something 2. run docker build again 3. in the settings --> sources screen, “reload” the connector image by clicking the “change” button next to the connector you added (see screenshot)

Thanks Sherif it has been working just fine now

@Sherif Nada I am getting the same error as below :
