Using power user without opening a workspace - "Detecting dbt" forever

[thomasaarholt]

I can successfully use dbt power user if I use code dbt-models (our dbt repo), and navigate through sql files within that repo with the workspace open.

Sometimes I just want to open a specific sql file from the terminal without first opening a workspace, e.g. code dbt-models/path/to/file.sql.

I've set the following two options in order for power user to find the python environment that dbt is installed in, and to find the dbt profiles.

    "dbt.dbtPythonPathOverride": "/Users/thomas/oda/dbt-models/.direnv/python-3.9.9/bin/python",
    "dbt.profilesDirOverride": "/Users/thomas/oda/dbt-models",

Here I have copied out a file onto my desktop and opened it there. The Python environment is successfully sourced in the terminal, and dbt --version runs. But the status bar shows "Detecting dbt forever".

In VSCode, Output -> Log - dbt shows no output at all.

With the above settings, if I code dbt-models (opening the repo as a workspace), everything works.
Do you have any advice?

We're currently locked in on dbt v1.3.2 and snowflake plugin v1.3.0.

I think we require a workspace being selected. I also doubt multiple workspaces works at this time.
