I'm running a particular project with seed files but it is throwing an error when it tries to process a seed file/

Hi Rahul,

I am not 100% familiar with dbt, as this is a side support from the main project. Seed files are basically loading csv files into the dbt project, is that correct? What would the manifest.json looks like, and would it also have SQLs in it, or can you post a sample manifest.json so I can try to examine it?

Also, this package tries to read through the manifest.json file for the compiled SQLs and produces the lineage relationship from them. If you have the SQLs at hand, you can also use the main library: https://github.com/sfu-db/lineagex.

Thank you very much!
