Thank you @MohamedSabthar, I'm currently going through these. I noticed that the Tableau repository has not yet been created. It says the repository will be setup by the ballerina team.

Just saw the message on discord, will work on my own repository till the repo is made.

ovindu-a commented 1 month ago

@MohamedSabthar I have generated the client code in this repository. Please let me know if there is anything that I must change.

Since they have asked us to make separate pull requests for each stage, should I wait until the repo is initialized to start on the tests or shall I start on them now?

MohamedSabthar commented 1 month ago

@ovindu-a, you can continue your work in your own repository, possibly in a separate branch. We will create the repository with an initial template and share it with you soon.

Hi @daneshk , I was done with the initial steps of it. What was left was the documentation. But I think I will have to make a few more changes to the generated connector before it is ready. I will make a PR to the repo and start working on it

daneshk commented 4 weeks ago

Great. Thanks for the update.

daneshk commented 1 week ago

Hi @ovindu-a,

I hope you are making progress on adding test cases for the connector. To complete the task, we also need to include documentation and examples. Could you please provide an update on your current progress? Thank you!

ovindu-a commented 1 week ago

Hi @daneshk I'm working on the examples. I'm facing some difficulty with configuring the authentication for their APIs. I'll update you when I make a PR with regards to this.
