Expand Up @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ dbt test --models [...] --defer --state path/to/artifacts

When the `--defer` flag is provided, dbt will resolve `ref` calls differently depending on two criteria:
1. Is the referenced node included in the model selection criteria of the current run?
2. Does the reference node exist as a database object in the current environment?
2. Does the referenced node exist as a database object in the current environment?

If the answer to both is **no**—a node is not included _and_ it does not exist as a database object in the current environment—references to it will use the other namespace instead, provided by the state manifest.
