Doc request: specifying dbt version #51

Open rubenvereecken opened 11 months ago

What’s the recommended way to get a newer version of dbt? I managed in the end, but it was far from obvious, and I feel like there are more obvious ways to do it.

Steps:

  1. meltano add utility dbt-bigquery --no-install -> this adds the following to meltano.yml without installing the old versions of dbt 
    utilities:
- name: dbt-bigquery
variant: dbt-labs
pip_url: dbt-core~=1.5.4 dbt-bigquery~=1.5.4 git+https://github.com/meltano/dbt-ext.git@main
  2. Change the versions to 1.7.2
  3. Run meltano install
  4. Run meltano run dbt-bigquery:debug to verify the version

If this is the best way to get the latest supported version of dbt, I suggest we add this to the docs. Happy to help if you point me in the right direction.
