[CT-3363] [Feature] interactive dbt init flow's instructions don't results in a successful dbt debug, because you need to enter the new subdirectory #9041
Description
Is this a new bug in dbt-core?
- I believe this is a new bug in dbt-core
- I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this bug
Current Behavior
I went through the dbt init flow as follows:
(dbt-prod) joel@Joel-Labes joel-sandbox-profile-generation % dbt init
20:11:51 Running with dbt=1.7.0
Enter a name for your project (letters, digits, underscore): joel_profile_generation_test
20:12:01
Your new dbt project "joel_profile_generation_test" was created!
[...]
20:12:01 Setting up your profile.
[...]
20:15:10 Profile joel_profile_generation_test written to /Users/joel/.dbt/profiles.yml using target's profile_template.yml and your supplied values. Run 'dbt debug' to validate the connection.
(dbt-prod) joel@Joel-Labes joel-sandbox-profile-generation % dbt debug
20:15:22 Running with dbt=1.7.0
20:15:22 dbt version: 1.7.0
20:15:22 python version: 3.8.10
20:15:22 python path: /Users/joel/venvs/dbt-prod/bin/python3
20:15:22 os info: macOS-10.16-x86_64-i386-64bit
20:15:22 Using profiles dir at /Users/joel/.dbt
20:15:22 Using profiles.yml file at /Users/joel/.dbt/profiles.yml
20:15:22 Using dbt_project.yml file at /Users/joel/Documents/GitHub/joel-sandbox-profile-generation/dbt_project.yml
20:15:22 Encountered an error:
Internal Error
Profile should not be None if loading profile completed
After some faffing, I discovered that dbt init made a new subdirectory. Once I switched to it and ran dbt debug, it succeeded:
(dbt-prod) joel@Joel-Labes joel-sandbox-profile-generation % ls
joel_profile_generation_test logs
(dbt-prod) joel@Joel-Labes joel-sandbox-profile-generation % cd joel_profile_generation_test
(dbt-prod) joel@Joel-Labes joel_profile_generation_test % dbt debug
[...]
20:31:31 Configuration:
20:31:31 profiles.yml file [OK found and valid]
Expected Behavior
- The instructions should tell me to cd to the newly-created dbt project's directory before running dbt debug
- Honestly I'm surprised that it didn't complain about no dbt_project.yml file first, which would have at least put me on the right track. It claims to be using the file at
/Users/joel/Documents/GitHub/joel-sandbox-profile-generation/dbt_project.yml, but thelsin thejoel-sandbox-profile-generationdirectory only contains those two dirs shown above.
