dbt Core 1.0.0b1

on GitHub

An initial beta release for v1.0.0.

Breaking changes

• The two type of test definitions are now "singular" and "generic" (instead of "data" and "schema", respectively). The test_type: selection method accepts test_type:singular and test_type:generic. (It will also accept test_type:schema and test_type:data for backwards compatibility) (#3234, #3880). Not backwards compatible: The --data and --schema flags to dbt test are no longer supported, and tests no longer have the tags 'data' and 'schema' automatically applied.
• Deprecated the use of the packages arg adapter.dispatch in favor of the macro_namespace arg. (#3895)

Features

• Normalize global CLI arguments/flags (#2990, #3839)
• Turns on the static parser by default and adds the flag --no-static-parser to disable it. (#3377, #3939)
• Generic test FQNs have changed to include the relative path, resource, and column (if applicable) where they are defined. This makes it easier to configure them from the tests block in dbt_project.yml (#3259, #3880
• Turn on partial parsing by default (#3867, #3989)

Fixes

• Add generic tests defined on sources to the manifest once, not twice (#3347, #3880)
• Skip partial parsing if certain macros have changed (#3810, #3982)
• Enable cataloging of unlogged Postgres tables (3961, #3993)
• Fix multiple disabled nodes (#4013, #4018)
• Fix multiple partial parsing errors (#3996, #4020)
• Return an error instead of a warning when runing with --warn-error and no models are selected (#4006, #4019)

Under the hood

• Enact deprecation for materialization-return and replace deprecation warning with an exception. (#3896)
• Build catalog for only relational, non-ephemeral nodes in the graph (#3920)
• Enact deprecation to remove the release arg from the execute_macro method. (#3900)
• Enact deprecation for default quoting to be True. Override for the dbt-snowflake adapter so it stays False. (#3898)
• Enact deprecation for object used as dictionaries when they should be dataclasses. Replace deprecation warning with an exception for the dunder methods of __iter__ and __len__ for all superclasses of FakeAPIObject. (#3897)
• Enact deprecation for adapter-macro and replace deprecation warning with an exception. (#3901)
• Add warning when trying to put a node under the wrong key. ie. A seed under models in a schema.yml file. (#3899)
• Plugins for redshift, snowflake, and bigquery have moved to separate repos: dbt-redshift, dbt-snowflake, dbt-bigquery
• Change the default dbt packages installation directory to dbt_packages from dbt_modules. Also rename module-path to packages-install-path to allow default overrides of package install directory. Deprecation warning added for projects using the old dbt_modules name without specifying a packages-install-path. (#3523)
• Update the default project paths to be analysis-paths = ['analyses'] and test-paths = ['tests]. Also have starter project set analysis-paths: ['analyses'] from now on. (#2659)
• Define the data type of sources as an array of arrays of string in the manifest artifacts. (#3966, #3967)
