Hello folks, I'm using dbt 0.20.2, Dagster (which is running inside a container) and dagster-dbt 0.12.4. I am trying to set up the

DbtRpcClient

and everything looks fine when I want to run or test models but when I want to run the

dbt ls

command, I can't get the result on the Dagster side and I have no error on the RPC server :

{'error': {'code': -32000, 'message': 'Server error', 'data': {'type': 'InternalException', 'args': ['No matching handler found for rpc method None (which=list)'], 'message': 'No matching handler found for rpc method None (which=list)'}}, 'id': '38ac7b10-31bb-11ec-a63a-0242ac120004', 'jsonrpc': '2.0'}

I don't understand, the command is normally supported on DBT since if I put a wrong command, I get the following message:

{'error': {'code': -32602, 'message': 'Invalid params', 'data': {'type': 'TypeError', 'args': ["dbt: error: invalid choice: 'foo' (choose from 'docs', 'source', 'init', 'clean', 'debug', 'deps', 'list', 'ls', 'build', 'snapshot', 'rpc', 'run', 'compile', 'parse', 'test', 'seed', 'run-operation')\n"], 'message': "dbt: error: invalid choice: 'foo' (choose from 'docs', 'source', 'init', 'clean', 'debug', 'deps', 'list', 'ls', 'build', 'snapshot', 'rpc', 'run', 'compile', 'parse', 'test', 'seed', 'run-operation')\n"}}, 'id': '79795a54-31bc-11ec-9a83-0242ac120004', 'jsonrpc': '2.0'}

I use this block of code to run DBT ls :

dbt_rpc_client = DbtRpcClient()
ls_command = "ls"
out = dbt_rpc_client .cli(command=ls_command, task_tags={})

I tried to upgrade DBT and nothing happens. All other commands work. Has anyone had this problem? Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

hi @Nicolas Gaillard, I was able to replicate this behavior, but I think this is actually an issue on the

dbt

side of things. Even directly sending http requests to the rpc server yields the same response. I think the functionality to be able to run dbt ls commands over rpc is actually somewhat new, so it may be possible that this is just a genuine bug.

Hi Owen thanks for your quick reply. I will post about it on the dbt slack channel !

@Nicolas Gaillard ah ok -- it looks like instead of using the "cli" method and invoking the list command using cli syntax, there is a special-purpose method for list (doesn't seem to be documented on the site, but maybe I'm missing something). we can add that to our resource implementation in next week's release.

Hi @owen, it would be great ! Do I have to open an issue or do something ?

no need — i've actually already merged in the fix, it'll be out in the next release :)
