Hi @chasemeadows, thanks for opening this issue. Could you please add which platform (Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake) you're on and which version of dbt-expectations you're using? Thanks!
Also experiencing this issue with Snowflake
these 2 tests:
https://github.com/calogica/dbt-expectations/blob/main/macros/schema_tests/table_shape/expect_row_values_to_have_recent_data.sql
https://github.com/calogica/dbt-expectations/blob/main/macros/schema_tests/table_shape/expect_grouped_row_values_to_have_recent_data.sql
have unexpected behavior when testing against fields that are date only. For example, in many use cases, these tests may check against a field such as
batch_date
which would be a date-only field that indicates the batch of data that the batch load corresponds to. This test will compare that date to a timestamp. So for example, if you had a test that runs on t-1 lookback that is orchestrated at 10-27 21:00 UTC, you would be comparing 10-26 21:00 UTC vs 10-26 00:00 UTC, and the test would always fail.My suggestion is to have some type of behavior that checks if the
column_name
provided is adate
field vs atimestamp
and perform the check accordingly.
