Version Conflict with DBT_Utils

[edwrand]

Describe the bug

My packages.yml is as follows and runs correctly when using dbt deps:

packages:
  - package: dbt-labs/audit_helper
    version: 0.5.0

  - package: dbt-labs/codegen
    version: 0.7.0

  - package: Snowflake-Labs/dbt_constraints
    version: [">=0.3.0", "<0.4.0"]
    
  - package: calogica/dbt_date
    version: [">=0.5.0", "<0.6.0"]

  - package: calogica/dbt_expectations
    version: [">=0.5.0", "<0.6.0"]

  - package: dbt-labs/spark_utils
    version: [">=0.3.0", "<0.4.0"]

  - package: data-mie/dbt_profiler
    version: [">=0.3.2", "<0.4.0"]

  - package: re-data/re_data
    version: [">=0.8.0", "<0.9.0"]

  - package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils
    version: [">=0.7.0", "<1.1.1"]

The above packages.yml updates the packages just fine with no issues.

Next, I want to add DBT_project_evlauator so I add the code below at the end of packages.yml similar to adding any other package.

 - package: dbt-labs/dbt_project_evaluator
    version: 0.8.0

Steps to reproduce

Put the same packages in your packages.yml and run DBT deps to reproduce.

Expected results

I expected 'DBT deps' to run successfully and install dbt_project_evaluator.

Actual results

I get an error that says

DependencyException Version error for package dbt-labs/dbt_utils: Could not find a satisfactory version from options: ['>=0.7.0', '<1.1.1', '>=0.8.0', '<0.9.0', '>=0.8.0', '<0.9.0', '>=0.8.0', '<0.9.0', '>=0.7.0', '<0.9.0', '>=1.0.0', '<2.0.0'] DependencyException

Screenshots and log output

If applicable, add screenshots or log output to help explain your problem.

Runs successfully without the added package

Breaks with this error message when I add the dbt_project_evaluator package:

Additional context

Are you interested in contributing the fix?

[edwrand]

I am using DBT cloud for context. When I run DBT --version I get a weird error that I asusme is because I do not have a local instance of DBT, but connect through a OneLogin.

@edwrand You need to update your other packages to match dbt_project_evaluator's requirement of dbt_utils >=1.0.0 or use an older version of dbt_project_evaluator, the error shows you have 4 packages that require <0.9.0 which conflicts with it

[edwrand]

@bfockler Is there somewhere in dbt_project_evaluator docs that shows the required versions for dependent packages? Was not able to find that information

[bfockler]

@edwrand The packages.yml file in each package's repo has the list of dependancies

Thank you @bfockler , I appreciate the help!

@edwrand it sounds like your issue is solved. For posterity, you should post the version of pacakges.yml that solved the issue. In the meantime, I'm going to close this issue as solved. Let me know though if you think it should be re-opened

The issue was solved because I realized the issue was with our DBT core version (v1.1). The package I was attempting to add requires a newer version (something closer to v1.6).

I apologize for the lack of context, had I supplied my DBT version this would have been resolved quickly. I am a newer developer and still learning lol. Thank you for the help
