Include the selected folder name in the "no dbt_project.yml" error so users know exactly which folder failed validation. Surface service error messages directly in the toast instead of re-mapping through fragile string matching, so "already imported" and other specific errors are shown verbatim.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved project import errors by identifying the selected file or folder when dbt_project.yml is missing.
    • Updated import error handling to display specific error messages when available, with a generic fallback when necessary.

Walkthrough

Project import errors now identify the selected input when dbt_project.yml is missing. The SelectProject screen displays the caught error message when available.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Specific project import errors

The service includes the selected path basename in the missing-file error. The SelectProject screen uses the thrown error message or a generic fallback.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e5027

A folder name containing “compressed” can cause an invalid-project import to show misleading compressed-file guidance instead of the specific missing-project message. The impact is limited to user feedback, so the change remains low risk with a small follow-up needed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not let the selected basename determine error classification.

path.basename(selectedPath) can contain "compressed". The renderer still maps any message containing that substring to the compressed-file toast at src/renderer/screens/selectProject/index.tsx Line 718. Selecting a folder named compressed_models without dbt_project.yml will hide this specific message. Use a typed error code, or classify the failure before composing the display message.
