quickstart for confluent - add datagen connector following examples fails

[josephh]

I'm following the Confluent developer quickstart for Confluent platform page.

confluent-7.2.0.tar.gz running locally on Mac Monterey 12.4.

I have the services up and running,

confluent local services start                                
The local commands are intended for a single-node development environment only,
NOT for production usage. https://docs.confluent.io/current/cli/index.html

Using CONFLUENT_CURRENT: /var/folders/p1/99852nrd7xn0fjqkp8gfk6rh0000gn/T/confluent.565137

I am able to use the confluent control centre to add topics but when i try to create the datagen connector I see the following error,

org.apache.kafka.common.config.ConfigException: Unable to parse the provided schema.

Problem seems to involve the quickstart field (also mentioned on #57).

See screenshots below.

Uninstalled and reinstalled the connector... now works 👍
