# dbt 1.9.1 to 1.9.8 upgrade
On June 25, we set ourselves to upgrade our dbt project version. This page tracks the task.
## Starting details
On commit `04a10cf9c52ad849ef6f61b133e605efc813e33d`, we hold the following versions in our `requirements.txt` file:
```bash
dbt-core~=1.9.1
dbt-postgres~=1.9.0
```
Furthermore, in the Airbyte production machine, we have these versions installed in the `venv` dedicated to dbt:
```bash
dbt-core==1.9.1
dbt-postgres==1.9.0
```
Besides the contents of the `requirements.txt` file, this is the contents of the full output of `pip freeze` on the Airbyte machines dbt environment:
```bash

## Goal
To bump versions into `1.9.8` patch, ensure everything works, provide instructions for all analysts and also inform on new features available. Heres the release link in Github: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/releases/tag/v1.9.8
As for the Postgres adapter, the most recent version is still `1.9.0`, so theres no need to upgrade anything.

- [x] Attempt to run our usual dbt run. Check if everything works and logs look good.
- [x] If all is well, open PR to bump versions in git repo.
- PR here: https://guardhog.visualstudio.com/Data/_git/data-dwh-dbt-project/pullrequest/5455
- [x] Create instructions for team to upgrade their local environments and make sure to communicate thoroughly, ask everyone to ACK back once done.
- Instructions below in this page.
- [x] Make TLDR on cool features we have obtained and reference to docs for further detail.
## Instructions for analysts
Team, weve upgraded our version of `dbt` to `1.9.8`. This is already applied in our production deployment, and [this PR](https://guardhog.visualstudio.com/Data/_git/data-dwh-dbt-project/pullrequest/5455) is ready to apply it on the project level.
We also need you to apply this version upgrade in your laptops so that versions are in sync across environments and stuff fits nicely. Its very simple, you can find below the steps:
- [ ] Open your VSCode workspace for the dbt project.
- [ ] Open up a terminal and make sure it has the project virtual environment activated.
- [ ] Make a backup of your python packages list in case things go wrong: `pip freeze > my_packages_backup.txt`
- [ ] Run the following commands to get things installed `pip install dbt-core==1.9.8 --upgrade`
- [ ] To check that stuff works, just try to use dbt. You can begin with a humble `dbt --version`, which should show the new version that is installed. If that works fine, move into using dbt as usual in your local env.
Regarding new stuff after this update:
- This upgrade doesnt come with new features. Since we only moved patch versions, we only get bug fixes and performance improvements.
- Having said that, this upgrade should fix the funny “dbt breaks if I make a new version of a model but I dont delete the `target` folder “ bug that [caused this incident](20240913-01%20-%20dbt%20run%20blocked%20by%20%E2%80%9Cnot%20in%20the%20graph%201030446ff9c980c291f1d57751f443ee.md). So you should be able to not have to ever care again about deleting the `target` folder, and we can remove the systematic deletion that we had in our production scripts (Ill take care of verifying the absence of the error and adjusting the scripts, no need to worry about that).
And thats it! Welcome to dbt `1.9.8`.
