Could not execute query, because the Python bridge has not been initalized. If the issue persists, please open a Github issue.

Expected behavior

A query is able to be run, or a model is able to be generated when clicking the “Generate model” button in a .yml file.

Actual behavior

The following error occurs, even after following all setup instructions, including having the correct python interpreter installed, and being able to run dbt commands within the virtualenv.

Steps To Reproduce

5. Attempt to “Generate model” from .yml file or run a SQL script

I wasn’t aware about that change in dbt core. That is probably the reason. I’ll do a fix tomorrow.

I’m still seeing this, and I’m on v0.10.3. I no longer see the generate models option, and get this error when hitting “cmd” + “enter”
