Custom dataset views incompatible with modules?

Report Bugs
1

We use modules heavily in our implementation and apparently I can’t create a dataset view in this context.

I have a dataset like this one :

use models { 
  dim_cab_site
}

Dataset licences {
  __engine__: 'aql'
  label: "Licences"

  models: [
    dim_cab_site
  ]

  view {
    model dim_cab_site { }
  }

  relationships: [
  ]
}

Holistics returns this error : Error: In View{}, Model 'dim_cab_site' not found
I tried to add the name of the module before the name of the model but it does not work either.

Could you help me with this ?

Hi Damien,

Thank you so much for reaching out and letting us know about this issue.

Upon investigation, it appears that there is indeed an issue on our end, which is being unable to use models belonging to modules in Dataset View. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.

Hi @dacou ,
We have supported your use case in the latest release.
For now, models imported explicitly with use can be used in Dataset view.

use models { 
  dim_cab_site
}

Dataset licences {
  ...
  view {
    model dim_cab_site { }
  }
}

This also works with aliased models too:

use models { 
  dim_cab_site: site
}

Dataset licences {
  ...
  view {
    model site { }
  }
}

Please kindly check this again and let us know if there are any problems.
Thank you for your patience.
