heya, I did run into some issues lately and would like to make my pipeline work again. I originally had a problem with tap-gitlab, and found somewhere online, that I should use

meltano lock

. Now I get the following error:

Copy code

$ meltano lock --update --all
[...]
File bundle 'dbt' is not known to Meltano

I realized that the dbt package is not available anymore on gitlab, so I switched to the new url on github. But it still doesn't seem to work. What am I missing?

meltano.yml

Copy code

...
  transformers:
    - name: dbt
      pip_url: dbt
  files:
    - name: dbt
      pip_url: git+<https://github.com/meltano/files-dbt.git>
...

so it seems like the issue should be fixable if I install dbt-postgres before installing meltano. But the two are not compatible due to jsonschema versions not being compatible. Has someone had the same issue?

Is someone able to install those two packages?

Copy code

- pip3 install meltano
- pip3 install dbt-postgres

Hi Nino! dbt is now a utility in Meltano that has its own

initialize

command that avoids using the

files

plugins: https://docs.meltano.com/getting-started/part3/#install-and-configure-the-postgres-specific-dbt-utility

Hopefully with that you don't need to install dbt and meltano in the same virtual environment

Thanks so much @edgar_ramirez_mondragon! It worked and I got it working again 🙂
