DBT-PUMPKIN

dbt-pumpkin is a command-line tool which helps to manage DBT projects.

Inspired by dbt-osmosis

Usage

Botstrap DBT Resources

dbt-pumpkin allows to create DBT YAML schema files for Seeds, Models and Snapshots. For that one has to add dbt-pumpking-path configuration property for a Resource. Then dbt-pumpkin will be able to understand where YAML files should be located.

By default dbt-pumpkin will analyze all project's resources and create absent YAML schema definition files. You can use --select and --exclude options to select/exclude a subset of resources. These arguments work exactly the same way as they do with dbt command (dbt list is used under the hood).

Note: YAML files created by this command will be almost empty. Another command should be used to add columns: synchronize

dbt-pumpkin bootstrap --help
Usage: dbt-pumpkin bootstrap [OPTIONS]

  Bootstraps project by adding missing YAML definitions

Options:
  --project-dir TEXT
  --profiles-dir TEXT
  -t, --target TEXT
  --profile TEXT
  -s, --select TEXT
  --exclude TEXT
  --dry-run
  --debug
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Relocate DBT Resources

dbt-pumpkin also allows to move DBT YAML schema files for Sources, Seeds, Models and Snapshots. As with bootstrap command dbt-pumpking-path configuration property is required for a Resource. Then dbt-pumpkin will be able to understand where YAML files should be located.

Note: dbt-pumking can split YAML schema file (if it contains several Resources) into separate YAML file, or, alternatively, it can merge several YAML files into one. This is all configured by dbt-pumpking-path.

dbt-pumpkin relocate --help
Usage: dbt-pumpkin relocate [OPTIONS]

  Relocates YAML definitions according to dbt-pumpkin-path configuration

Options:
  --project-dir TEXT
  --profiles-dir TEXT
  -t, --target TEXT
  --profile TEXT
  -s, --select TEXT
  --exclude TEXT
  --dry-run
  --debug
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Synchronize DBT Resources

Last, but not least, feature is synchronize. It analyzes schema of actual tables and views in your database and updates YAML schema files to have the same columns (and column types) in the same order as they are in a table/view corresponding to a Resource.

Pay attention, that columns declared in YAML but absent in the database will be deleted. But you are using version control system (and most probably it's git), right? So you can always revert changes done by dbt-pumpkin if, for example, you forgot to run/build a Resource and its table/view is outdated.

Note dbt-pumpkin leaves intact any descriptions, tests and any other properties set in YAML file.

dbt-pumpkin synchronize --help
Usage: dbt-pumpkin synchronize [OPTIONS]

  Synchronizes YAML definitions with actual tables in DB

Options:
  --project-dir TEXT
  --profiles-dir TEXT
  -t, --target TEXT
  --profile TEXT
  -s, --select TEXT
  --exclude TEXT
  --dry-run
  --debug
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Configuration

dbt-pumpkin-path

dbt-pumpkin-path is the only configuration property supported for now.

It sets a path to YAML schema file of a resource. The path can relative to resource (SQL, CSV or PY) or root-relative. Root-relative paths set path relative to DBT project root directory and start with / symbol.

Examples

Configure dbt-pumpkin to bootstrap resources at (or relocate resources to) _schema.yml file located next to SQL, CSV or PY file.

models:
  "<YOU_PROJECT_NAME>":
    +dbt-pumpkin-path: _schema.yml
seeds:
  "<YOU_PROJECT_NAME>":
    +dbt-pumpkin-path: _schema.yml
snapshots:
  "<YOU_PROJECT_NAME>":
    +dbt-pumpkin-path: _schema.yml

You your Model is called my_model and is defined at models/path/to/my_model.sql, then dbt-pumpkin will consider models/path/to/_schema.yml as the path were the model should be bootstrapped at or relocated to.

Of course, as with any other DBT configuration property, you can re-define dbt-pumpkin-path on resources you want:

models:
  "<YOU_PROJECT_NAME>":
    +dbt-pumpkin-path: _schema.yml
    intermediate:
      int_my_model:
        +dbt-pumpkin-path: int_my_model.yml

dbt-pumpkin-path actually defines template path and supports {name} and {parent} values. {name} gets replaced with Resource's name and {parent} - with folder's name where resource SQL, CSV or PY file is located.

models:
  "<YOU_PROJECT_NAME>":
    +dbt-pumpkin-path: _{name}.yml

With the above configuration, every resource will be relocated to (bootstrapped at) separate YAML file, so my_model will be defined at _my_model.yml.

In case you have too many resourced defined in a directory, you may specify subdirectory to hold YAML files:

models:
  "<YOU_PROJECT_NAME>":
    +dbt-pumpkin-path: _schema/{name}.yml

Source in DBT have no other files except YAML. It means that it's not possible to use relative path in dbt-pumpkin-path to configure source YAML file location. The only option is to use root-relative paths:

sources:
  "<YOU_PROJECT_NAME>":
    # root-relative path must start with /
    +dbt-pumpkin-path: /models/staging/_source_{name}.yml

Development

# First install Hatch globally
pip install hatch

# Configure Hatch to create venvs in project
hatch config set dirs.env.virtual .hatch

# Before testing we need to build DBT project
hatch run dbt clean
hatch run dbt seed
hatch run dbt build

# test in one venv
hatch test
# test across different python & dbt versions
hatch test --all

Troubleshooting

Clean envs and caches:

hatch env prune
pip cache purge
# UV is used by default for hatch-test environments
uv cache clean
