Profdir with profiles.yml

[neo-andrew-moss]

Hi @mwhitaker

I am using your profdir branch in a ci. When providing a DBT_TOKEN, the sed command targets a datab.yml file. IMO this should be the standard profiles.yml file.

Hi there,

Many thanks for this PR. I don't remember why I created the profdir branch, so am curious why you use that branch. Is there any feature in there that is different from the main/master branch?

Other than that I don't mind merging your PR since it's not an official branch.

I use the profdir branch as the main branch of this action requires the profiles.yml file to exist alongside the dbt_project.yml file. In my project, I have the following setup:

├── .ci
│   ├── profiles.yml
├── .github
│   ├── workflows
│   │   ├── dbt_action.yml
├── packages
│   ├── dbt 
│   │   ├── dbt_project.yml
│   │   ├── models

This gives me and other developers a clear picture that we have a specific profiles.yml file for ci that is not to be used elsewhere.

The difference between main and profdir is that in profdir there is an additional input of dbt_profile_folder, which I specify as dbt_profile_folder: "../../.ci" to account for my project structure.

OK. I merged the PR.
For some reason, perhaps for testing specifically Databricks, I used a different profile yml, but I agree that it makes more sense to use profiles.yml.

Thanks for the PR!
