I am stuck on the following task:
5.4.3. Now you can prepare files for data modeling into the star schema. You will need to identify fact and dimensional tables, then create an SQL model file for each. Finally, inside the new folder, create a schema.yml file. You can look at the example folder if needed. Once you are done modelling the data, use the following command to run the models you created (make sure you are in the dbt_modeling project folder):

Created fact and dimension sql file (with same code as in the first and second sql samples in the example folder) and schema.yml (as in the example) under the Models folder but getting the following error when I run
dbt run -s serving_layer

Running with dbt=1.8.1
15:37:09 Registered adapter: redshift=1.8.1
15:37:10 [WARNING]: Configuration paths exist in your dbt_project.yml file which do not apply to any resources.
There are 1 unused configuration paths:

  • models.dbt_modeling.serving_layer
    15:37:10 Found 6 models, 8 data tests, 494 macros
    15:37:10 The selection criterion ‘serving_layer’ does not match any enabled nodes
    15:37:10
    15:37:10 Nothing to do. Try checking your model configs and model specification args

Please help

Thanks

Hello @zensim
Did you replace the models section in the ./dbt_modeling/dbt_project.yml file with the value provided in step 5.4.2? From the error you are getting, it seems like dbt is not able to find serving_layer in your models.
