Dbt - The selection criterion [model name] does not match any node

Question

When running command dbt run -s [model_name] I get the error: The selection criterion [model name] does not match any node.

Any suggestions why this problem occurs?

• The model name was copied 1-on-1 and is exactly the same as in the dbt directory
• The command works for other models

Answer 1

It's important to note that the model_name passed in the command dbt run -s [model_name] is case sensitive. Contrary to the above answer, passing .sql in the model name is not required. Just ensure your model name passed in the command matches your actual model name, including case.
