i'm trying out csv connections today and it's not cooperating with me, i have a folder called
models
in my
reports
folder which is the root of my evidence project inside my larger dbt monorepo. yet it insists that no files match
models/customers.csv
.models/customers.csv
reports/models.csv
or
./reports/models.csv
-- any thoughts? am i missing something really obvious?

Hey Gwen, there’s one annoying gotcha with our CSV connector at the moment, which is: if you’re passing a relative filepath, it needs to be prepended with “../../“ The other alternatives are: • call your folder “sources” - we set this one up to get around this filepath issue (just make sure you’re on the latest Evidence version to avoid a bug related to this) • Use an absolute filepath Let me know if that works for now. I’m also going to think about a way we can fix the relative filepath issue - I’ve opened a GitHub issue here to track it (https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence/issues/645)

i figured that was it but i tried using
sources
specifically and it still didn't work, i'll try again! i also tried one set of
../
but i didn't try two 😅
i must have done something wrong in my 14th hour of working on data stuff yesterday, imagine that 😅 -- can confirm 'sources' works for me this morning
