This repo was originally created by a dbt community member, Gary James [GtheSheep]
If you are still using the GtheSheep/dbt-cloud source, see Upgrading from the community Provider to upgrade to the latest version.
Provide the ability to manage dbt Cloud projects and account settings via Terraform resources. Data sources are also available for most resources.
In order to use this provider, add the following to your Terraform providers setup, with the latest version number.
terraform {
required_providers {
dbtcloud = {
source = "dbt-labs/dbtcloud"
version = "<version>"
}
}
}
If you want to explicitly set the authentication variables on the provider, you
can do so as below, though likely via a variables.tf
file or config in your
CI-CD pipeline to keep these credentials safe.
provider "dbtcloud" {
// required
account_id = ...
token = "..."
// optional - defaults to the US Multi Tenant URL "https://cloud.getdbt.com/api"
host_url = "..."
}
You can also set them via environment variables:
DBT_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_ID
for the account_id
.
DBT_CLOUD_TOKEN
for the token
.
DBT_CLOUD_HOST_URL
(Optional) for the host_url
.
The provider documentation is directly available on the Terraform Registry.
- Under Guides, you will find a simple example of how to use the provider
- Each resource (example for jobs) has some usage examples and contains the list of parameters available
The CLI dbtcloud-terraforming can be used to generate the Terraform configuration and import statements based on your existing dbt Cloud configuration.
Acceptance tests are executed by running the make test-acceptance
command.
For the acceptance tests to work locally, the following environment variables must be set to appropriate values for a dbt Cloud account the tests can interact with. All dbt Cloud resources referenced by the environment variables (e.g. user id, email address, and group ids) must exist in the dbt Cloud account.
DBT_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_ID=1234
DBT_CLOUD_USER_ID=4321
DBT_CLOUD_USER_EMAIL=<email_address>
DBT_CLOUD_TOKEN=<api_token>
DBT_CLOUD_HOST_URL=https://<host>/api
DBT_CLOUD_GROUP_IDS=1,2,3
ACC_TEST_GITHUB_REPO_URL=git@github.com:<github-org>/<dbt-project>.git
ACC_TEST_GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID=1234
To assist with setting the environment variables, the .env.example
file can be copied to .env
and the values updated.
The variables can then be loaded into the environment by running source .env
on Mac or Linux.
A note on the Repository Acceptance Tests
The Repository Acceptance Tests require a GitHub repository to be set up and the dbt Cloud GitHub App installed.
ACC_TEST_GITHUB_REPO_URL
must be set to the SSH URL of a repository
ACC_TEST_GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID
must be set to the installation ID of the GitHub App.
The installation ID can be found by navigating to Settings
-> Applications
,
and clicking Configure
on the dbt Cloud GitHub App. The installation ID can be found in the url, for example,
https://github.com/settings/installations/<installation_id>
Thanks to Gary James [GtheSheep], for all the effort put in creating this provider originally and for being a great dbt community member!
