Describe the current behavior
Currently, you have to define a PostgresTargetConfigs block with Postgres database configurations manually in python code or in the Prefect UI, which can then get passed to the DbtCliProfile to save the credentials. This usually means a lot of copying and pasting from the dbt profiles.yml or elsewhere.
Describe the proposed behavior
Add a from_file
method to the PostgresTargetConfigs block to automatically populate the credentials and config into a new instance of a PostgresTargetConfig block given an existing dbt profiles.yml file.
Example Use
postgres_target_config = PostgresTargetConfgs.from_file(file_path="/path/to/profileyaml/.dbt/profile.yml")
dbt_cli_profile = DbtCliProfile(
name="jaffle_shop",
target="dev",
target_configs=postgres_target_config,
)
