metaplane_utils

About

metaplane_utils is a collection of macros that we at Metaplane have written to solve common issues we have run into with dbt.

Installation

We currently support git based installation:

packages:
  - git: https://github.com/metaplane/dbt-utils.git

Macros

publish_test_failures: This macro can be used to automatically ingest the result of test failures captured by dbt via store_failures. Ingestion will only happen if you manually opt a test in like so:

- accepted_values:
    meta:
      metaplane:
        publish_failures: true
    values:
      - returned
      - completed

The macro should be called in an on-end-run hook in the dbt_project.yml file like:

on-run-end:
  - "{{ metaplane_utils.publish_test_failures() }}"

Metaplane will then upload the failed test results into a snowflake stage, generate a pre-signed URL for that stage, and write the URL into the run_results.json file on the adapter response of each run tests.

This macro is currently on supported for Snowflake.
