it s pretty vague is there a way to get more details and does anyone know what an exit code of 2 means

Zanie · Answer

Exit code 2 is generally a permissions error

Zanie · Answer

If you toggle `log stderr=True` on the DbtShellTask you should get the last line of output

Madison Schott · Answer

Thanks Looks like it s saying I m not in a dbt directory even though I specified it here ```profiles dir= Users madison dbt snowflake ```

Madison Schott · Answer

```fatal Not a dbt project or any of the parent directories Missing dbt project yml file```

Bruno Murino · Answer

You probably need a helper command to cd into you dbt directory the one with the dbt project yml a good way to test the whole thing is by issuing a dbt debug command
