The error message

The selection criterion 'elementary' does not match any nodes

when running

dbt run --select elementary

usually means that dbt cannot find any models or resources named "elementary" in your current project context. Based on the knowledge sources, here are the most common causes and solutions: 1. Elementary Package Not Installed or Not Referenced Properly - Ensure that the Elementary dbt package is correctly listed in your

packages.yml

file. - After updating

packages.yml

, run

dbt deps

to install the package. - Confirm that the

dbt_packages/elementary

directory exists and contains the expected models and macros. [See example](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1703263929892129) 2. Wrong dbt Target or Environment - If you have multiple targets (e.g., dev, prod), make sure you are running the command on the correct target where Elementary is enabled. - For example, if Elementary is only enabled on the

prod

target, use:

dbt run --select elementary --target=prod

[See example](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1687776269471449) 3. Elementary Models Disabled via Configuration - Check your

dbt_project.yml

for any configuration that disables Elementary models, such as:

yaml      models:        elementary:          +enabled: "{{ var('cli_enable_elementary', False) }}"

- If you use a variable to enable Elementary, make sure to set it to

True

when running the command:

dbt run --select elementary --vars '{"cli_enable_elementary": true}'

[See example](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1680689840547609) 4. Version Mismatch or Incomplete Upgrade - If you recently upgraded, ensure both the Python and dbt package versions of Elementary are compatible and up to date. - After updating, always run

dbt deps

and then

dbt run --select elementary

. [See example](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1699010103609409) If you have checked all the above and still encounter the issue, double-check your

dbt_project.yml

,

packages.yml

, and the output of

dbt deps

. If Elementary is disabled or not installed in your current environment/target, dbt will not find any nodes to run. Let me know if you need help reviewing your configuration files!
