@seub Thanks for putting up the PR! Do you feel comfortable trying to add some tests for this usecase?
@jtcohen6 looks like this one will generate the docs based on the combination of deferred manifest and current project, is this a feature we want to add.

I think the implementation here is based on my comment in #6124 (comment) - good to go from my point of view

Thanks @ChenyuLInx and @jtcohen6. I was excited to contribute to dbt but after trying to follow all the steps of the contributing guide I think I got discouraged by all the failing tests (I think it was make integration on my end?). I don't think these failures have anything to do with the diff I introduced and I didn't want to spend more time investigating. I also would need to invest more time trying to understand how to add new tests.

Long story short, I appreciate the incitement to contribute, and I tried, but the entry ticket is a bit steep for me. I'll have to leave it to your expert hands and hopefully try again to contribute in the future.

Thanks for taking a stab at it @seub! Closing in favor of the newer PR: #6488
