I beleive this is the main problem

dbt     | The selector 'my_meltano_project' does not match any nodes and will be ignored

Under debug mode I see this:

meltano | DEBUG Invoking: ['/home/ssm-user/dev/data/meltano/prototype/.meltano/transformers/dbt/venv/bin/dbt', 'run', '--models', ' tap_airtable my_meltano_project']

My understanding is that it's going to look for my custom transform under the namespace

tap_airtable

(which is finds successfully), but for some reason it can't find anything for

my_meltano_project

. I'm at a loss as to how to get it to pick up both...

I've tried to follow this as well": https://discourse.getdbt.com/t/faq-i-got-an-unused-model-configurations-error-message-what-does-this-mean/112 No dice.

I still get this as well

dbt     | [WARNING]: Configuration paths exist in your dbt_project.yml file which do not apply to any resources.
dbt     | There are 1 unused configuration paths:
dbt     | - models.my_meltano_project

It seems like DBT is totally unable to see my local models 😕

This nearly drove me insane... But I think I figured it out Somehow I had mangled my

dbt_project.yml

inside my meltano project. Instead of:

sources:
  - models

I had:

sources:
  - sources

and so it wasn't finding my extra models... 🤦‍♂️
