[SEMANTIC-107] [Bug] <Running Into Compilation Error on Metrics >

Is this a new bug in dbt_metrics?

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

Current Behavior

The compiler returns `

> " Compilation Error in model key_kpis (models\aggregation\key_kpis.sql) The name argument to ref() must be a string, got <class 'list'>"

when I tried running the metrics on one of my models.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to see a table from the metrics I have added.

Steps To Reproduce

1. In my own virtual environment dbt, I add this code snippet to my schema.yml

metrics:
  - name: gross_deposits
    label: Gross Deposits
    model: ref('deposits')
    description: "Sum of amount_usd for Deposits"

    calculation_method: sum
    expression: amount_usd 

    timestamp: transfer_ts
    time_grains: [day, week, month, quarter, year, all_time]

    dimensions:
      - registration_country
    
    window:
      count: 4
      period: week

    config:
      enabled: True

1. I query it with

 {{ config(
     materialized='table',
   )}}
   
select * 
from {{ metrics.calculate(
    metric('gross_deposits'),
    grain='week',
    dimensions=['registration_country']
) }}

in a separate .sql file.

1. I use a dbt run on my terminal to run the file.

Oh, I see. Now it’s clear 😃

I want to run the default calendar, so this is my code

dbt run --s dbt_metrics_default_calendar

Thank you!

Hi @oleg-agapov - are you trying to run the default calendar or your custom one?

Per the documentation in the README, you don’t want to include the var value as a ref statement. See below for an example where I’m telling the package to use the model my_custom_calendar instead of the default model.

dbt_metrics_calendar_model: my_custom_calendar

To run it I would then use dbt run --s my_custom_calendar. If I wanted to use the default calendar, I’d use dbt run --s dbt_metrics_default_calendar
