dbt deps fails to retrieve module from github when ran in cloud dbt

After some testing, I determined that whatever was failing is now fixed in Cloud dbt. So the rules are not a thing and everything is working as documented.

Here are the tests I ran after the above success which used the access token env var from the page Joel linked as DBT_ENV_SECRET_GIT_CREDENTIAL:

- git: "https://{{ env_var('DBT_ENV_SECRET_GIT_CREDENTIAL') }}@github.com/feeds/feed-site-googleanalytics.git"
  1. passed: substituted in DBT_ENV_SECRET_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN for DBT_ENV_SECRET_GIT_CREDENTIAL:
- git: "https://{{ env_var('DBT_ENV_SECRET_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN') }}@github.com/feeds/feed-site-googleanalytics.git"
  1. passed: added back {{ env_var(‘DBT_GITHUB_USERNAME’) }} to the form that failed for the original post to the community:
- git: "https://{{ env_var('DBT_GITHUB_USERNAME') }}:{{ env_var('DBT_ENV_SECRET_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN') }}@github.com/feeds/feed-site-googleanalytics.git"

Make sure your URL for github uses all forward slashes.

One thing I am not sure of, which may not be a thing, I could not reset the “environment” between tests and I don’t know how Cloud dbt functions behind the scene so all the success after the first success may have had state that allowed the other forms to pass.

Good luck!
