[CT-1371] rpc doesn't use `--target-path` flag #97

Closed jeremyyeo closed 1 year ago

jeremyyeo commented 2 years ago

Not sure if we'd want to fix this or not (probably no) but raising anyway.

If you use the --target-path flag like so:

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8580/jsonrpc \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "cli_args",
    "id": "test-cli-args",
    "params": {
        "cli": "compile --target-path new_target"
    }
}
'

The compiled files and artifacts still go into target/ instead of new_target/.

Some users in dbt Cloud who may want to use this flag will find that they cannot.

This is indeed a feature that would solve to leverage defer and make it a first class citizen. In turn this would allow to fully be able to do local development… currently it is not possible :/

Thanks for opening @jeremyyeo! We're not going to fix this, since the dbt-rpc server is nearing end of life, and we're planning to deprecate it / archive the repository in favor of a new dbt-server.

misteliy commented 1 year ago

will this then be possible in the new dbt-server?
