GA4 - "Plugin configuration is invalid"

[jeffsdata]

I am getting an error when following these instructions: https://hub.meltano.com/extractors/tap-ga4#end_date-setting

I've configured the tap and when I test it or invoke it, it just says: Plugin configuration is invalid 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 89: invalid start byte

When I put $env:MELTANO_CLI_LOG_LEVEL="debug", I get a little more info - it looks like it's occurring when listing out the dimensions on the property:

Tried in Ubuntu as well, and got a similar error.

@jeffsdata This sounds like it's probably an issue with your config/meltano rather than this tap. Can you share your meltano.yml with anything sensitive removed?

When I googled your error I found this stack overflow answer that seems relevant. https://stackoverflow.com/a/29419477

Sure, here's the meltano.yml. I haven't done aything to customize this.

I brought the tap-google-analytics repo local and tested it, and that worked fine with my report json and key file. So... it just doesn't seem to be working when I run it with meltano CLI (either by testing it or trying to run it).

meltano config tap-ga4 test meltano run tap-ga4 target-jsonl

@jeffsdata is that file in the root of your project where that tap is expecting it? Did you check your quotes based on the stack overflow post I linked? That seems related to the error message you were getting. Are you still seeing the same error message? ~You might have more luck if you ask this question in the Meltano slack channel so others can weigh in.~ I saw that you did post it there https://meltano.slack.com/archives/C01TCRBBJD7/p1691277643447539

Yep, the ga4reports file is at the root. I also tried it without that file at all (in which case it uses the default one and I get the same error). I didn't realize... for way too long... but the actual connector works fine, but just the test isn't working. So, not a big deal, haha.

And yeah, I also checked for the windows smart quotes as well... I looked for it and it doesn't exist in any of the files - the Google service account file or the report file.
