Hi, I'm encountering an issue when trying to execute an action in Dataform for a specific table that exists in multiple datasets. I have a table table_name in both dataset_0 and dataset_1, and I would like to execute the action only on dataset_0.table_name. However, when I run the following command:
Dataform encountered an error: Ambiguous Action name: table_name. Did you mean one of: project.dataset_1.table_name, project.dataset_0.table_name.
Error: Ambiguous Action name: table_name. Did you mean one of: project.dataset_1.table_name, project.dataset_0.table_name.

I've tried various ways to qualify the table name with the dataset and folder structure:
None of these attempts have successfully executed the action, and I haven't found anything useful in the documentation regarding how to address this issue.
How can I specify the correct dataset and table in the command to avoid the ambiguity?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this:
dataform run --actions YOUR_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID.dataset_0.table_name
