In `server not connected` error message, instructions are incomplete

See original GitHub issue

When you don’t have a browser window open with the dbt cloud developer mode, Lightdash throws an error.

The error message is good at telling you what’s gone wrong, but I think it’s just missing a tiny addition 😃

Have the existing message (basically, open your browser).
Once your browser is open with dbt cloud, click refresh dbt
^ I think you might have to actually refresh your browser as well after this step…trying to reproduce the error now, but it’s persisting my dbt connection even with the browser shut 😅

(I kept on trying to refresh the webpage and figure out what was going wrong)

WIP branch: https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash/tree/lightdash-286 What is done:

renders links properly ( we don’t need to change anything in the BE for this )
What is missing:
show the extra message informing the user to click the refresh dbt button
