one thing that comes to my mind is special destination
https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/e2e-test

another is more related to connector development
it is possible to run Docker container locally, build your custom Shopify version with extra logging
https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/custom-python-connector/environment-setup

yeah but before I could see in the logs which slice is being processed etc. now all I can see is that a workload is claimed and that is it…

before what? before Airbyte upgrade? before connector upgrade?

Before moving to abctl

kubernetes deployment

Do you not see anything in the logs for the currently running job when viewed in the UI? (note, these can take a while to load).

Often these are noisy, but using the filters to look at, say, just the Source or Orchestrator might help you better see progress (or lack thereof). Sometimes you’ll end up seeing that it’s in a backoff cycle due to API limits or such so it’s “idle” but hasn’t failed

<@U035912NS77> unfortunatelly no, just that the workload is claimed :disappointed:

same happens with the completely new deployment :disappointed: losing the hope

this is what I run as per insturctions on EC2 server

sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
exit
ssh -i mdata.pem ec2-user@my-ip
curl -LsfS <https://get.airbyte.com> | bash -
abctl local install```
