fal flow run --target TARGET loads non-flag target before switching

[chamini2]

Describe the bug
When running fal flow run --target ddb (my duckdb profile) I get the following error:

20:46:15  Error importing adapter: No module named 'dbt.adapters.fal'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/matteo/.pyenv/versions/3.8.13/envs/dbtdd/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dbt/adapters/factory.py", line 56, in load_plugin
    mod: Any = import_module("." + name, "dbt.adapters")
  File "/Users/matteo/.pyenv/versions/3.8.13/lib/python3.8/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module

  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 973, in _find_and_load_unlocked
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dbt.adapters.fal'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/matteo/.pyenv/versions/3.8.13/envs/dbtdd/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dbt/config/profile.py", line 179, in _credentials_from_profile

dbt.exceptions.RuntimeException: Runtime Error
  Could not find adapter type fal!

And the ddb target has type: duckdb

fal_test:
  target: fal_ddb

  outputs:
# relevant section of my profiles.yml
    fal_ddb:
      type: fal
      db_profile: ddb
    ddb:
      type: duckdb
      path: "/Users/user/duck_db_dbt_dump.db" 
      s3_region: "us-east"
      s3_access_key_id: aa
      s3_secret_access_key: "xx"

Your environment

• OS: mac
• Paste the following commands output:

❯ fal --version
fal 0.7.3

❯ dbt --version

Plugins:
  - duckdb: 1.3.1 - Update available!

  At least one plugin is out of date or incompatible with dbt-core.

How to reproduce
Point to a not-installed profile in your target: property in profiles.yml, and pass a yes-installed profile.

Expected behavior
Should completely ignore the target: of profiles.yml and instead use --target setting.

Actual behavior
It will load the profile with the not-installed profile before actually using the correct one, and raise an exception.

Hello, @iddar

From your output it seems you do not have dbt-fal installed. fal and dbt-fal are two separate packages. To use dbt with a fal type adapter, you need to install dbt-fal.

Can you run pip install dbt-fal==1.5.2 and let us know if know it works?
