Looker does not support liquid templates or aliased views/models #17911

Closed sam-mccarty-mavenclinic closed 1 month ago

sam-mccarty-mavenclinic commented 1 month ago

Affected module Ingestion Framework

Describe the bug My team uses templating to adjust our sql table name during development, while leaving the production table as the base condition.

To Reproduce Ingest LookML with liquid templates in the sql_table_name and observe lineage generation failures

Screenshots or steps to reproduce

Expected behavior I would like the ingestion to try to render the templates with no variables to render the base condition. Likewise, I would like the lineage creation to use the from_ attribute of a Looker view when it exists or the view_name of a model when that exists, regardless of whether there are other joins present in the model (as the current logic requires)

Version:

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.
