As described in the bug report for #848, not_constant generic test fails when grouping is used and one of the groups has only one element. The implementation considers the value of this one element constant and fails the test. Whilst such interpretation is technically correct, the context where such test is used a different interpretation arguably would be preferable. I provided additional details in the bug report.

star()
source) N/Alimit_zero()
macro in place of the literal string:limit 0
N/Adbt.type_*
macros instead of explicit datatypes (e.g.dbt.type_timestamp()
instead ofTIMESTAMP
N/AI did not add a test, because it's not clear to me how such tests are written. There is no prior test for not_constant macro to extend. That said, I'm happy to write one with some guidance from the core team.
