Anyone know what

DBT_SOURCE_SCHEMA

refers to in the transform plugins examples ? ie:

tap_salesforce:
    vars:
      schema: '{{ env_var(''DBT_SOURCE_SCHEMA'') }}'

That’s a reference to the “dbt” plugin’s “source_schema” setting, which automatically takes the value of the target’s destination schema

Oh, I see, so within the context of a

meltano elt some-tap some-target

?

@andrew_stewart Yep: https://meltano.com/docs/integration.html#pipeline-environment-variables

Got it. I was trying to interact with dbt directly via

m invoke

, so probably not populating certain env vars.

Looks like you need https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/2546 🙂
