RuntimeError: `<top (required)>': '' does not exist

[iby]

I am trying to get the mysqltopostgres command to work for the second day without any luck. I am using the latest 0.2.19 version from the master branch. I suspect I'm doing something wrong, do you know what that might be?

$ mysqltopostgres
/usr/local/var/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p550/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysqltopostgres-0.2.19/bin/mysqltopostgres:30:in `<top (required)>': '' does not exist (RuntimeError)

    from /usr/local/var/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p550/bin/mysqltopostgres:23:in `<main>'
$ gem list

Do you fix your problem?

[iby]

@gowish Nope, I didn't have any luck with this at all. Judging on the activity in the repo it seems to be slowly being abandoned. I found another project dimitri/pgloader, it's a little hardcore but it did the job perfectly.

[maxlapshin]

@ianbytchek you can fix it by yourself and stop complaining.

[iby]

@maxlapshin didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

[maxlapshin]

Commit or get the fuck out.

Just in case someone else got this error, I got it by not following the command line usage:

The configuration yaml file should be the first argument when mysqltopostgres is called.

My question now is how to connect to a database which is not running locally? Is this possible without specifying a socket file?
