DBT plugin for the Raito CLI

Raito CLI Plugin - DBT

Note: This repository is still in an early stage of development. At this point, no contributions are accepted to the project yet.

Prerequisites

To use this plugin, you will need

1. The Raito CLI to be correctly installed. You can check out our documentation for help on this.
2. A Raito Cloud account to synchronize your GCP organization with. If you don't have this yet, visit our webpage at (https://raito.io) and request a trial account.
3. Access to the manifest.json file of a DBT project

Usage

To use the plugin, add the following snippet to your Raito CLI configuration file (raito.yml, by default) under the targets section:

  - name: dbt1
    connector-name: raito-io/cli-plugin-dbt
    data-source-id: <<GCP datasource ID>>   
    identity-store-id: <<GCP identitystore ID>>
    
    manifest: <<dbt manifest.json file path>>
    

You will also need to configure the Raito CLI further to connect to your Raito Cloud account, if that's not set up yet. A full guide on how to configure the Raito CLI can be found on (http://docs.raito.io/docs/cli/configuration).

Trying it out

As a first step, you can check if the CLI finds this plugin correctly. In a command-line terminal, execute the following command:

$> raito info raito-io/cli-plugin-dbt

This will download the latest version of the plugin (if you don't have it yet) and output the name and version of the plugin, together with all the plugin-specific parameters to configure it.

When you are ready to try out the synchronization for the first time, execute:

$> raito run

This will take the configuration from the raito.yml file (in the current working directory) and start a single synchronization.

Note: if you have multiple targets configured in your configuration file, you can run only this target by adding --only-targets gcp1 at the end of the command.
