Feb IDE updates and fixes
To continue improving our Cloud IDE experience, the dbt Labs team worked on fixing bugs, increasing reliability, and adding new features ✨.
Learn more about the February changes.
New features
- Support for custom node colors in the IDE DAG visualization
- Autosave prototype is now available under feature flag. Contact the dbt Labs IDE team to try this out
- Ref autocomplete includes models from seeds and snapshots
- Prevent menus from getting cropped (git controls dropdown, file tree dropdown, build button, editor tab options)
- Additional option to access the file menu by right-clicking on the files and folders in the file tree
- Rename files by double-clicking on files in the file tree and the editor tabs
- Right-clicking on file tabs has new options and will now open at your cursor instead of in the middle of the tab
- The git branch name above Version Control links to the repo for specific git providers
- Currently available for all multi-tenant instances using GitHub or GitLab providers
Product refinements
- Added an error modal for RPC parsing errors when users attempt to invoke dbt commands (preview, compile, or general dbt invocations)
- Enabled syntax highlighting for Jinja expression and statement delimiters
- Clarified and renamed the options under the Build button
- Changed the term for RPC status from
Compiling
toParsing
to match dbt-core construct - Implemented a new File Tree component to improve render time by 60%
- Disabled the Local Storage of File Tree to prevent users from running into max LocalStorage issue for large projects
- Changed snapshot snippet template (
__snapshot
) to a select from source
Bug fixes
- You no longer have file contents carrying over when you switch to a different project that has the same file name
- The preview max limit no longer allows you to override the maximum
- You no longer encounter node statuses failing to update in the history drawer for those on version 1.4 core. (This is a partial fix that may be fully addressed by core version 1.5)
- You can now use the Copy File Name option to copy up to the last dot, rather than the first dot
