Enhancement: dbt Cloud auto-installs 'dbt deps' on startup

The dbt Cloud IDE and dbt Cloud CLI now automatically installs dbt deps when your environment starts or when necessary. Previously, it would prompt you to run dbt deps during initialization.

This improved workflow is available to all multi-tenant dbt Cloud users (Single-tenant support coming next week) and applies to dbt versions.

However, you should still run the dbt deps command in these situations:

  • When you make changes to the packages.yml or dependencies.yml file during a session
  • When you update the package version in the packages.yml or dependencies.yml file.
  • If you edit the dependencies.yml file and the number of packages remains the same, run dbt deps. (Note that this is a known bug dbt Labs will fix in the future.)
