error when changing model materialization from view to table

[sinia]

After running a model materialized as a view, cannot run the same model with table materialization. {{ config(materialized="view") }} --> {{ config(materialized="table") }}

I include example log below. It seems that dbt when rerunning the model incorrectly issues DROP TABLE command although it should DROP VIEW instead.

by the way, no such issue when using dbt-sqlserver=1.4.3
