Hey hey 👋 I get an error running the

edr report

command:

elementary.exceptions.exceptions.DbtCommandError: Failed to run dbt command.

In general it seems Elementary can’t find my

.dbt

folder - which is right there in the folder I’m running the command from. running

edr --version

gives:

Elementary version 0.16.1.
(test_dwh) andriesdraux@OTA-Andries-MBP-CMD6M datawarehouse %

running

dbt --version

gives:

(test_dwh) andriesdraux@OTA-Andries-MBP-CMD6M datawarehouse % dbt --version

running

ls -lah .dbt

gives :

drwxr-xr-x   5 andriesdraux  staff   160B Mar 20  2024 .
drwxr-xr-x  53 andriesdraux  staff   1.7K Mar 18 08:29 ..

Even if I specifically try to give the path via the

--profiles-dir

argument it keeps going to my virtual environment so it seems:

2025-03-18 09:49:51 — INFO — Running dbt command --log-format json run-operation elementary.log_macro_results --args {"macro_name": "elementary_cli.get_test_results", "macro_args": {"days_back": 7, "invocations_per_test": 720, "disable_passed_test_metrics": false}} --project-dir /Users/andriesdraux/.pyenv/versions/3.10.3/envs/test_dwh/lib/python3.10/site-packages/elementary/monitor/dbt_project --profiles-dir /Users/andriesdraux/datawarehouse

I’m not sure if it’s correct it’s going to my virtual environment as

--project-dir

? Anyways, I’m a bit dazzled as to why it can’ t find my

.dbt

folder 😅 Any tips would be appreciated!

Hey @Andries Draux! Just so I understand the profiles dir is

/Users/andriesdraux/datawarehouse/.dbt/

?

that is correct

Because from what I see in your output you have

--profiles-dir /Users/andriesdraux/datawarehouse

aha indeed 🤦‍♂️ I thought it was looking for the

.dbt

folder. Running it with the

--profiles-dir .dbt

seems to work! Thanks for the swift help!

My pleasure 🙂 Happy it was solved
