"Run your Connector" - "Tableau Server - Option 2 (For in-development connectors)": Tableau connector folder should be on C drive?

Open jon-allenby opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I was just troubleshooting a connector that wasn't working with a client whose Tableau Server runs off the D: drive opposed to the default C: drive.

We set up the folder in the D:\ drive as per [Option 2 (For in-development connectors)](https://tableau.github.io/connector-plugin-sdk/docs/run-taco#:~:text=Option%202%20(For%20in%2Ddevelopment%20connectors).

Create a directory for Tableau connectors. This needs to be the same path on each machine, and on the same drive as the server is installed on. For example: C:\tableau_connectors

This wasn't allowing publishing or connecting with the connector. When we instead moved the folder to C: drive and went through the same steps ignoring the fact that the Server was installed on D:, the connector worked like a charm.

Does the documentation need updating here?
