Is this a new bug in dbt-common?

  • I believe this is a new bug in dbt-common
  • I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this bug

Current Behavior

As discussed in the following comment by @jeremyyeo dbt-labs/dbt-core#8276 (comment) on another issue , when there is a type error inside a Jinja template for just one model, the dbt pipeline fails without providing any useful information. I've encountered the same problem several times and spent too much time figuring out what caused it. We can see the same issue appearing in other issues, with users complaining about it:

dbt-labs/dbt-core#4596 (comment).
dbt-labs/dbt-labs-experimental-features#37
dbt-labs/dbt-core#9033

Expected Behavior

  • The user should receive information about the node (model) where the error occurred.

Steps To Reproduce

# dbt_project.yml
name: my_dbt_project
profile: all
config-version: 2
version: 1.0
models:
  my_dbt_project:
    +materialized: table
-- models/foo.sql
{{ config(materialized=-'table') }}

select 1 id

Additional Context

I created an issue on dbt-core, but I think here is the correct place dbt-labs/dbt-core#10856

@devmessias This is a great idea to avoid that nasty stacktrace in a variety of scenarios 🏆

Reprex

In addition to the one you provided, here's another reprex (originally offered by @jtcohen6 in dbt-labs/dbt-core#4596 (comment) and you also included in dbt-labs/dbt-core#10856 that will give an error that says "'NoneType' object is not iterable":

Create this file:

models/my_model.sql

{% set mylist = None %}

{% for item in mylist %}

  select '{{ item }}' as my_item
  {{ 'union all' if not loop.last }}

{% endfor %}

Run this command:

dbt parse

Hi @dbeatty10, thanks for pointing out this example. With my PR #207, here is the output:

I'Ve created a new unit test to test if it's correct handling a type error when iterating over a None value.

I'll wait for the #207 review
