I have used the following block in my dbt_project.yml file, so that I am not running Elementary models on each scheduled run:

elementary:
    +docs:
      show: false
    +schema: elementary_data
    edr:
      +enabled: "{{ var('enable_elementary_models', false) }}"

I keep getting this error. What am I doing wrong?

23:32:03  Unhandled error while executing 
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'
23:32:04  Encountered an error:
Runtime Error
  'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'

Hi @Keith Castelino! can you please share your dbt.log?

Hi! I have the exact same thing. Did you figure out what was going wrong here?

Hi @Or Avidov I didn't know you reached out. Attached is the error log I have recreated.

Hey @Keith Castelino @Paul Bakker, The error is a failure to get the schema of a relation, I'm not sure why this happens or where. I am sure that you can't use vars in your

dbt_project.yml

, so this might be related to this config somehow. If you remove the use of the var, do you get the same error?

@Maayan Salom I am able to get rid of the error by removing the

...enabled: "{{ var('enable_elementary_models', false) }}"

entirely, and explicitly asking dbt to exclude elementary in my

dbt build ...

commands. Would have preferred being able to configure this in the

dbt_project.yml

file itself so that the CLI calls can be simpler, but I'm able to move forward for now.
