Unable to get Postgres app/source working

[spicypenguin]

I have followed the instructions to try and setup Node.js locally and get Grouparoo running.

Everything appears to be working correctly, grouparoo is up and I've configured an app (local postgres), a source (users table within postgres), and properties (one for each field on the table).

However I'm not getting any profiles imported and hitting a lot of errors in the /resque tab, but the error messages are not particularly helpful.

-- | -- | -- | -- | -- | --

Any ideas what is causing this error?

Likely cause here:
const { pluginConnection } = await this.getPlugin(); is returning null.

My best guess is that you need to run grouparoo install @grouparoo/postgres
In the past, this was in the example, but now it need to be done explicitly. I'll update the documentation.

Thanks for your help.
Let me know how it goes.

Here's the doc on install: https://www.grouparoo.com/docs/installation/plugins

I'd love feedback on the documentation. Did you got through, the steps to add an app?
Commands like this: grouparoo generate postgres:app data_warehouse

That failed for me (as expected) without grouparoo install @grouparoo/postgres, so maybe that's not what you did.

The above error would happen if you edited the files directly. Is that what happened?

@spicypenguin if you are getting those errors in /resque, could you please expand the error (there's a + button) so you can share the whole stack trace? Thanks!

If this problem was related to not having the @grouparoo/postgres plugin installed, #1371 will help with a better error message.
