`No such file or directory` found when running discovery about tap-rest-api HOT 2 OPEN

I just chatted with the folks at Meltano. This is definitely a compatibility issue. Currently Meltano defaults to running discovery before running a separate command with the provided args. I'll be filing an issue with them to change this default behavior.

I tried manually generating the schema and catalog files. I first removed the - discover from capabilities. Then I ran meltano invoke tap-rest-api --infer_schema. The first error I got was Applying catalog rules failed: catalog file is missing. which I thought was odd because I thought --infer_schema was supposed to generate that. Regardless I got passed that by also removing the - catalog capability.

I ran meltano invoke tap-rest-api --infer_schema again. This time it gave me this error: CRITICAL local variable 'end_from_config' referenced before assignment. Some feedback on this, my endpoint doesn't need any time or index information to be provided. Fortunately, my endpoint doesn't still respond even if you do provide it.

So I added index_key and end_index to my config with some dummy values and then ran meltano invoke tap-rest-api --infer_schema again. This generated both the catalog and schema.

It's probably incompatibility that can be overcome. I'm not a user of Meltano, but can you first try removing discover from capabilities section in meltano.yml and run infer_schema separately (don't know how you can do this from Meltano...you might need to manually run tap-rest-api) to generate the schema and catalog files before running the sync in Meltano?
