Fix DbtCLI task unable to work with workingDir within Docker Task runner.

[noyb34]

Expected Behavior

The copy (cp) command within dbtCLI task should be able to copy a file in the working directory {{ workingDir }} to be consumed by downstream task. See example flow below.

Actual Behaviour

When I run the flow, I get the following error: Unable to find workingDir used in the expression cp {{workingDir}}/my_dbt_project/target/manifest.json {{workingDir}}}/manifest.json at line 1

2024-10-03 16:20:06.793io.kestra.core.exceptions.IllegalVariableEvaluationException: Unable to find workingDir used in the expression cp {{workingDir}}/my_dbt_project/target/manifest.json {{workingDir}}}/manifest.json at line 1 at io.kestra.core.runners.VariableRenderer.properPebbleException(VariableRenderer.java:59) at io.kestra.core.runners.VariableRenderer.renderOnce(VariableRenderer.java:120) at io.kestra.core.runners.VariableRenderer.render(VariableRenderer.java:91) at io.kestra.core.runners.VariableRenderer.render(VariableRenderer.java:76) at io.kestra.core.runners.VariableRenderer.render(VariableRenderer.java:241) at io.kestra.core.runners.VariableRenderer.render(VariableRenderer.java:235) at io.kestra.core.runners.DefaultRunContext.render(DefaultRunContext.java:190) at io.kestra.plugin.dbt.cli.DbtCLI.run(DbtCLI.java:270) at io.kestra.plugin.dbt.cli.DbtCLI.run(DbtCLI.java:39) at io.kestra.core.runners.WorkerTaskThread.doRun(WorkerTaskThread.java:76) at io.kestra.core.runners.AbstractWorkerThread.run(AbstractWorkerThread.java:57) Caused by: io.pebbletemplates.pebble.error.RootAttributeNotFoundException: Root attribute [workingDir] does not exist or can not be accessed and strict variables is set to true.

hey, we plan to tackle the manifest issue so that hopefully you don't have to use the extra copy command - feel free to give feedback on the suggested design #45

[Ben8t]

@noyb34 #45 has been merged and can be tested on kestra:develop image. Would you be open to test it and let us know if it improve the workflow here :) ?

[noyb34]

@Ben8t. Awesome. I'll do some tests and report back shortly. Thanks
