Essentially what the title says. I have an end to end pipeline that at a high level is * extract data * do some python transformations * export data

I want to add a 4th step of

• run the relevant dbt models

The thing is that I’m running into problems with invoking it programmatically, as the pipeline file is in a different directory than the dbt project (so it doesn’t detect the project yaml file) and I can’t use absolute paths to specify which model to run, which I need to do because the pipeline is in a different directory

This is for a personal project, so I am trying to implement dbt just for the sake of learning it. The thing is though, that the pipeline runs automatically on a cron job, and I need the model to be run at the time of the pipeline

Is this the wrong usage pattern for dbt? I suspect it is because it’s not straightforward to do so far
