Hello all! I've been kicking the tires with low-code connector development attempting to build a source connector for a custom API. I could get through most of the tutorial but ran into two issues on the final step (adding my connector to Airbyte and setting up a connection with it). 1. I couldn't add the connector by adding to
airbyte-config/init/src/main/resources/seed/source_definitions.yaml
as documented here. I removed all local containers and volumes and started fresh with
docker compose up
but my connector doesn't appear under "Settings > Sources". I tried running
./gradlew :airbyte-config:init:processResources
to add it manually but it fails, presumedly because it's looking for my custom connector Docker image in a GCP-hosted repository instead of my local images (see attached image). Is this expected/configurable? 2. I was able to install via the UI, but hit another snag after setting up the source when it attempted to fetch the source schema (see second screenshot). Running Airbyte in dev mode (as I mentioned here) resolved this, but I wouldn't think it would be necessary. Thanks!
