Originally a fork of https://github.com/fal-ai/dbt-cloud-action with additional capabilities as the original repo and action seem inactive:

• adds the ability to cancel jobs when the action is cancelled
• adds the ability to provide a GitHub PR ID
• downloads more artefacts than just run_results.json
• rewritten from JS to TS to improve future maintenance

This action lets you trigger a job run on dbt Cloud, wait for the results of the job and fetch the run_results.json, manifest.json and catalog.json artifacts. If your dbt cloud job does not generate docs, set fetch_catalog: false

• dbt_cloud_url - dbt Cloud API URL (Default: https://cloud.getdbt.com)
• dbt_cloud_token - dbt Cloud API token
• dbt_cloud_account_id - dbt Cloud Account ID
• dbt_cloud_job_id - dbt Cloud Job ID

We recommend passing sensitive variables as GitHub secrets. Example usage.

• failure_on_error - Boolean to make the action report a failure when dbt-cloud runs.
• interval - The interval between polls in seconds (Default: 30)
• get_artifacts - Whether run results and other artifacts are fetched from dbt cloud. If using this action in other contexts this can be set to false, useful for jobs which do not generate artifacts.
• fetch_catalog - Whether the catalog.json is fetched from dbt cloud. If using this action in other contexts this can be set to false, useful for jobs which do not generate a catalog.

Use any of the documented options for the dbt API.

• cause (Default: Triggered by a Github Action)
• git_sha
• git_branch
• schema_override
• dbt_version_override
• threads_override
• target_name_override
• generate_docs_override
• timeout_seconds_override
• steps_override: pass a YAML-parseable string. (e.g. steps_override: '["dbt seed", "dbt run"]')
• github_pull_request_id

This will trigger the CI job. If a new commit is pushed to the PR, the current job gets cancelled and a new one is created.
