Add-On OCF Connector for dbt: Version 3.0.8

Fixed Issues

Metadata Extraction Fails When dbt Fails to Return the Compiled Code

Metadata Extraction on a Snowflake data source with add-on connector for dbt enabled results in the following error when the compiled SQL is empty:

Error while streaming direct lineage : content is required to build a dataflow.

If the compiled SQL is empty for a job, the connector now logs a warning and marks the node as invalid and allows the Metadata Extraction to continue. (AL-147412)
