Exclude subdirectory as part of dbt_project configuration?

[philippefutureboy]

Hi!

I would like to be able to colocate my data science jupyter notebooks that allow me to generate my seeds with the seeds themselves. The issue I am facing is that one of said data science uses a csv file as source data to create the seed, and said csv file is picked up automatically by dbt seed, no matter what I seem to put in dbt_project.yml.

Here's the file structure:

dbt/
  seeds/
    _datascience/
      my_seed_src_csv.csv # I want to exclude this one
      my_seed.ipynb
    my_seed.csv
    my_seed.yaml
  ...
  dbt_project.yml

Here's the seeds clause of the dbt_project.yml file:

...
seed-paths: ["seeds"]

...
seeds:
  +schema: "{{env_var('DATASET_PREFIX')}}_common_raw"
  # resource-paths
  +seeds._datascience:
    enabled: false

I tried seeds._datascience, _datascience, +seeds._datascience, +_datascience.

Am I missing something in my configuration or this is something that is not supported by dbt?

Thanks a lot!

Hey @philippefutureboy, the most obvious thing that jumps out is that your directory is called _workbooks, not _datascience. Is that a typo in the post?

Hi @joellabes ! Indeed that's a typo in the post 🙃
EDIT: Fixed!

Try adding the project name into your seeds config:

seeds:
  +schema: "{{env_var('DATASET_PREFIX')}}_common_raw"
  project_name:
    # resource-paths
    _datascience:
      +enabled: false

It works!
Thanks @jaypeedevlin :)
