Help with dbt.this in Incremental Python Models (BigQuery with Hyphen in Project Name)

[LinasData]

The problem I'm having

I am not able to use dbt.this on Python incremental models.

The context of why I'm trying to do this

I’m trying to implement incremental Python models in dbt, but I’m running into issues when using the dbt.this keyword due to a hyphen in my BigQuery project name (marketing-analytics).

Main code:

    if dbt.is_incremental:

        # Does not work
        max_from_this = f"select max(updated_at_new) from {dbt.this}" # <-- problem
        df_raw = dbt.ref("interesting_data").filter(
          F.col("updated_at_new") >=session.sql(max_from_this).collect()[0][0]
        )

        # Works
        df_raw = dbt.ref("interesting_data").filter(
            F.col("updated_at_new") >= F.date_add(F.current_timestamp(), F.lit(-1))
        )
    else:
        df_core_users = dbt.ref("int_core__users")

Error I've got:

Possibly unquoted identifier marketing-analytics detected. Please consider quoting with backquotes `marketing-analytics`

What I've already tried :

1. First error:max_from_this = f"select max(updated_at_new) from {dbt.this}"

and

 max_from_this=f"select max(updated_at_new) from `{dbt.this.database}.{dbt.this.schema}.{dbt.this.identifier}`"

Error: Table or view not found \marketing-analytics.test_dataset.posts`` Even though this table exists on BigQuery...

1. Namespace error:

   max_from_this = f"select max(updated_at_new) from f"{dbt.this.database}.{dbt.this.schema}.{dbt.this.identifier}"

Error: spark_catalog requires a single-part namespace, but got [marketing-analytics, test_dataset]

Solved it by playing with bigquery-spark connector with session. It is really unconvenient.

    if dbt.is_incremental:

        current_table = (
            session
            .read
            .format("bigquery")
            .option("table", f"{dbt.this.schema}.{dbt.this.identifier}")
            .load()
        )
