DBT hub instructs/links to version 0.1.2 #187

Closed ttusing closed 2 years ago

DBT hub instructs people to install version 0.1.2 and links to the readme for 0.1.2. Users landing on dbt-expectations via Google and click on the Github link will see the outdated readme.

https://hub.getdbt.com/calogica/dbt_expectations/0.1.2/

This bit me as I did not realize I was looking at an old readme and the arguments for macros had changed, spent ~45 min debugging and scratching my head.

This also probably explains why on the DBT slack lots of people are using or mention version 0.1.2 during debugging. Example: https://getdbt.slack.com/archives/C2JRTGLLS/p1649122057115889?thread_ts=1648837415.237699&cid=C2JRTGLLS

Looking closer, this might be Google's fault. it looks like it is returning the page for 0.1.2 on dbt hub when I google dbt_expectations. Guessing it is happening for a lot of other people too?

Maybe oldest versions could be retired and forward to the current version on DBT hub to get pagerank to fix? Or if DBT Hub detects incoming links from search engines, forward to latest version? Or a warning at the top of the page that you are on the page for an old version?

Hi @ttusing , thanks for raising this issue! I think this is indeed a Google issue. Let me report this to the dbt folks and see what we can do there. The hub page does link to the latest version.

Looks like there's an open issue in dbt-labs
