FAQ

My loading did not complete and I got this error message. How do I fix it?

File "/home/google_bigquery_writer/schema_mapper.py", line 25, in get_csv_schema
return docker.Config(data_dir).get_file_manifest(file_path)['columns']
KeyError: 'columns'

 The loader requires a manifest file with the columns parameter, it should be a list of column names of the csv that you are loading.

  

Create a manifest file based on the code template below. Remember to change the file names, destination names and fields accordingly based on the csv that you are trying to load

import json

with open("/data/out/tables/<file_name>.csv.manifest", "w") as outf:
    outf.write(
        json.dumps(
            {
                "destination": "<destination_name>", 
                "incremental": False,
                "columns": [
                    "<field01>",
                    "<field02>",
                    "<field03>"
                ]
            }
        )
    )
