Referencing a UDF would require an input in unit tests for the same function #321

I believe the issue here is that the same dataset rules are being applied to UDF when you reference it with ${ref()}. Example view:

select 
        target_id
        , product
        , product_type_id
        , ${ref("update_purchase_summary")}( ARRAY_AGG(STRUCT(some columns) ) -- It's a UDF being applied to array. Can't use ref() here otherwise unit tests won't work.
        -- , production.update_purchase_summary( ARRAY_AGG(STRUCT(some columns) )
