Hi everyone I’m having a bit of hard time understanding what is meant by the following error message: 
ModularPipelineError: Inputs should be free inputs to the pipeline
Could some kindly unpack / explain it ? Thx
d
It means that your 
inputs
(passed to 
pipeline()
) contains keys that are not inputs to the pipeline object you passed to 
pipeline()
.
But I understand that the error message may not be super helpful. 😅

Thanks @Deepyaman Datta I may be thick 😅 but… I think I do understand what you’re saying, but I’m still getting the same error while being under the impression / delusion that my implementation below does abide by that constraint: What is it that I’m getting incorrectly? Thx in advance, M
P.S: I hope that your eyes won’t bleed at the sight of this “tentative dynamic pipeline hack” 😉

garbage_filtered
is not a "free" input in the 
generic_tables_pipelines
it is being generated by 
garbage_filtering
by free input, it means an input you need to provide because it's not generated in the pipeline (and a free output is one that isn't consumed during the pipeline)
(not sure if "free" is defined somewhere, but I can understand that the terminology may be confusing; hopefully the above explanation helps)

ah… ok… I get it… Thanks a lot @Deepyaman Datta for laying this out clearly ! 🙏🏼 Such a definition would be a nice add-on to the modular pipeline section of the doc 👍🏼

Let me take a look right now!
