Subdirectory option for dbt-core

[tahseenadit]

Hi, I was using dbt-core and programmatically invoking dbt commands. I have a subdirectory in my project where I have profiles.yml and dbt_project.yml files along with all other dbt files. Therefore, when I was invoking dbt commands from a file i.e test.py I had to do something like:

from dbt.cli.main import dbtRunner
from pathlib import Path
import os

if __name__ == "__main__":
    dbt_runner = dbtRunner()

    args = ["compile"]
    os.chdir("dbt_bq") # So that I am inside the subdirectory
    dbt_runner.invoke(args)

Or,

from dbt.cli.main import dbtRunner

if __name__ == "__main__":
    dbt_runner = dbtRunner()

    args = ["compile", "--profiles-dir", "dbt_bq", "--project-dir", "dbt_bq"]
    dbt_runner.invoke(args)

Why don't we have a subdirectory option for dbt-core like we have in dbt cloud console ?
