How to set project-dir in dbt with environment variable?

Question

I am trying to locate my dbt_project.yml file which is not in the root directory of my project. Previously, I was using an env var called DBT_PROJECT_DIR in order to define where dbt_project.yml file is located and it was working fine. In a similar way, I am using DBT_PROFILE_DIR and it still works correct. But I cannot make DBT_PROJECT_DIR work. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Both DBT_PROJECT_DIR and DBT_PROFILES_DIR (for profiles) work now.
