dbt 0.20.0rc1

An initial release candidate for v0.20.0.

Breaking changes

• Fix adapter.dispatch macro resolution when statically extracting macros. Introduce new project-level dispatch config. The packages argument to dispatch no longer supports macro calls; there is backwards compatibility for existing packages. The argument will no longer be supported in a future release, instead provide the macro_namespace argument. (#3362, #3363, #3383, #3403)

Features

• Support optional updated_at config parameter with check strategy snapshots. If not supplied, will use current timestamp (default). (#1844, #3376)
• Add the opt-in --use-experimental-parser flag (#3307, #3374)
• Store test failures in the database (#517, #903, #2593, #3316)
• Add new test configs: where, limit, warn_if, error_if, fail_calc (#3258, #3321, #3336)
• Move partial parsing to end of parsing and implement new partial parsing method. (#3217, #3364)
• Save doc file node references and use in partial parsing. (#3425, #3432)

Fixes

• Fix compiled sql for ephemeral models (#3317, #3318)
• Now generating run_results.json even when no nodes are selected (#3313, #3315)
• Add missing packaging dependency (#3312, #3339)
• Fix references to macros with package names when rendering schema tests (#3324, #3345)
• Stop clobbering default keyword arguments for jinja test definitions (#3329, #3340)
• Fix unique_id generation for generic tests so tests with the same FQN but different configuration will run. (#3254, #3335)
• Update the snowflake adapter to only comment on a column if it exists when using the persist_docs config (#3039, #3149)
• Add a better error messages for undefined macros and when there are less packages installed than specified in packages.yml. (#2999)
• Separate compiled_path from build_path, and print the former alongside node error messages (#1985, #3327)
• Fix exception caused when running dbt debug with BigQuery connections (#3314, #3351)
• Raise better error if snapshot is missing required configurations (#3381, #3385)

Docs

• Support dots in model names: display them in the graphs (docs#184, docs#185)
• Render meta tags for sources (docs#192, docs#193)

Under the hood

• Added logic for registry requests to raise a timeout error after a response hangs out for 30 seconds and 5 attempts have been made to reach the endpoint (#3177, #3275)
• Added support for invoking the list task via the RPC server (#3311, #3384)
• Added unique_id and original_file_path as keys to json responses from the list task (#3356, #3384)
• Use shutil.which so Windows can pick up git.bat as a git executable (#3035, #3134)
• Add ssh-client and update git version (using buster backports) in Docker image (#3337, #3338)
• Add tags and meta properties to the exposure resource schema. (#3404, #3405)
• Update test sub-query alias (#3398, #3414)
