Fix to make
DBT_PROJECT_DIR
andDBT_PROFILES_DIR
env vars work as cli defaults.dbt cli allows this, and the help text in opendbt cli args say you can but it doesn't work.
The reason is it currently just takes the argparse result (
None
) and falls back toelse default_project_dir()
...but the dbtdefault_project_dir
function doesn't do the env var handling.Instead that is a feature of the
click
interface:https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/blob/main/core/dbt/cli/params.py#L476
So for dbt cli the default function is only called if no env var defined.
We can reproduce the same behaviour in argparse with some helper code adapted from:
