[CT-2642] Redirect links to supported-data-platforms#adapter-installation

Contributions

• I have read the contribution docs, and understand what's expected of me.

Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

❔ I don't yet know which page(s) would be most appropriate! 🤷

As a first pass, my intent here is document a recent mismatch so that we can figure out the best way to reconnect the dots. See "additional information" below for background context.

Primary impacted pages:

• https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/supported-data-platforms#adapter-installation
• https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/connect-adapters#install-using-the-cli

Secondary related pages:

• https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/core/about-core-setup
• https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/core/installation
• https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/core/pip-install

What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?

@mirnawong1 Do you know if https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/supported-data-platforms#adapter-installation can be redirected to https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/connect-adapters#install-using-the-cli ?

Additionally and/or alternatively, the URL can be updated within dbt-core (see "additional information" below for context).

Additional information

dbt-core logs the following error message when there is no adapter installed:

        msg = "No adapters available. Learn how to install an adapter by going to https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/supported-data-platforms#adapter-installation"

After the change in dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com#3341, navigating to https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/supported-data-platforms#adapter-installation no longer goes to the intended location.

The replacement location in dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com#3341 appears to be https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/connect-adapters#install-using-the-cli

hey @dbeatty10 oh dear, thank you for your detailed documentation on the problem statement here! ok so i believe we cannot redirect from a hash link to a different hash link (see slack thread for convo.

however, i have updated the URL within dbt core (and will also look to see if there's other similar error messages) - can you please look at my first core PR? also I'm trying to do the changie bit 🙏

[dbeatty10]

@mirnawong1 I transferred this issue to dbt-core since that's where we are implementing the fix. Conveniently, it will allow you to reference this issue number when you create the changelog entry via changie 😎

We can transfer it back to docs.getdbt.com if you deem that's better.
