## The problem I’m having

I had several dbt dimensions created and running under Airflow MWAA. Then all of sudden I started getting the following error and I can not figure out the cause.

## What I’ve already tried

I remove all the models but 1 simple dimension that creates view. I still get the error. I have removed all macros and other components trying to solve the error.

## Some example code or error messages

```auto
     dw_dim_ethnicity_transform = DbtTaskGroup(
                    group_id = f"Run_{control_data.model_name.lower()}",
                    project_config=project_config,

                    render_config = RenderConfig(select=[f"stg_ethnicity"], test_behavior=TestBehavior.AFTER_ALL)
        )

```

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
