Trying to create a model in my dev using --defer --state prod-manifest. But everytime i run the command, its creating an empty table. what am i missing here? can anyone help?

Command - dbt run --select table_name --target dev --defer --state prod-manifest

I checked in the prod and the table has data.

Hi @saudadeguy
Could you please confirm if you are passing prod manifest file path using --state option

dbt run --select table_name --target dev --defer --state path_to_prod_manifest_file
