Question

Running Meltano commands raises an error:

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'request_timeout'

This is happening on a simple:

$ meltano state clear

# OR

$ meltano elt

Answer 1

you need to likely reinstall Meltano .. based on your error I'd assume you installed via PIP .. make sure you upgrade pip on a clean environment before you try again.. I also suggest you do this before you install meltano

pip3 install --upgrade pip3
pip3 install zipp==3.1.0 --no-warn-script-location
pip3 install meltano poetry
