I'm getting this warning:

16:25:18 Time spines without YAML configuration are in the process of deprecation. Please add YAML configuration for your 'metricflow_time_spine' model. See documentation to configure: https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/metricflow-time-spine

But when I click the link, it doesn't include any information about configuring the YAML.

We should add examples of how to configure the time spines in YAML.

Additional information

Other folks have run into this warning, see dbt-labs/dbt-core#10483 (comment) for an example.

When #5857 is resolved, it should resolve this issue as well.

I was able to suppress this warning by adding the following to models/_models.yml:

models:
  - name: metricflow_time_spine
    time_spine:
      standard_granularity_column: date_day
    columns:
      - name: date_day
        granularity: day

hey @dbeatty10 , looks like we have a yaml example in the docs. i think we can add a <File> example to that but other than that - i believe it addressed this issue right?

hey @dbeatty10 , going to close this issue as i think we've resolved it here with this yaml example: https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/metricflow-time-spine

however, please let me know if i misunderstood and we can re-open this back up!

Yep, #5882 took care of it 💪 Thanks @mirnawong1 !
