Hi @bram-83 , thanks for raising this.

As we don't use ref in the current code, it doesn't take in account the quoting config that might be set in dbt_project.yml.

What I would recommend is doing a copy of the macro and changing this line from

{% set model_schema = model_details.schema %}

to

{% set model_schema = "`" ~ model_details.schema ~ "`"  %}

You can then update you on-run-end to point to your own macro instead of the package one.

If this works, we could update the macro in the package and add an optional parameter to add quoting.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi @b-per, Thank you for the tip. I quoted the schema & catalog name. I't working fine now, thanks,

When we do a new release you will be able to use print_dbt_project_evaluator_issues(quote='`')
