Installing packages from git

Help

The problem I’m having

dbt reps returns Private Package Org my_company_name not configured

The context of why I’m trying to do this

Install a package from another repo as a new package

What I’ve already tried

I use
private: repo name

Which uses same repo in my integrations

Some example code or error messages

Put code inside backticks
  to preserve indentation
    which is especially important 
      for Python and YAML!

Hey @TimNapier - any chance you’ve solved or worked around this yet? I’m having the same issue.

I’ve double-checked the Account prerequisite documented here, including validating in GitHub my connection configuration per this.

I’m using the syntax

packages:
  - private: my-org/my-repo

and have tried with and without the provider key (even though I only have one integration configured on the account). Same with warn-unpinned (even though I don’t think it’s relevant in this case). I also tried quoting values, which has made no difference.

The package I’m trying to configure happens to be another project in the same dbt Cloud account and connected to another repo in the same GitHub org. There’s been no problem with authentication of that project from the Cloud interface, including development via the Cloud IDE. This particular project really should be installed as a native private package, but for the sake of due diligence, I also tried configuring it as a dependent project instead. Unfortunately, Cloud has been reporting a server failure for the past hour, and I’ve not been able to submit a dbt deps command since reconfiguring. I’ll update here if that turns out to be a workaround.

Hi kbec, the only way we have managed this is using tokens from GitHub. Looking forward to seeing if you have any joy with it

Hi, anyone managed to figure this one out?

I have exactly the same issue as the op and want to avoid using tokens. GitHub is configure correctly as far as I can tell, we have multiple projects using different repos in the same tenancy without issue, now want to centralise our management of common macros in a separate repo but get the Private Package Org my_company_name not configured error when trying to refer to the repo using the private syntax.

Any help appreciated.
