[Bug] Incorrect test config on `stg_facebook_ads__creative_history`

LewisDavies commented 7 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the issue

I have added the ad_reporting package to my project and dbt run was successful for all models. However, I'm getting an error when testing the results because of apparent duplicates in stg_facebook_ads__creative_history. This is the only test that is failing.

The output of this model is filtered by the two directly downstream (facebook_ads__url_tags and int_facebook_ads__creative_history), which use the is_most_recent_record column to remove older rows.

Temporary workaround

Using the package name and full identifier in my project file let me disable the test and pass CI:

# dbt_project.yml
tests:
  facebook_ads_source:
    dbt_utils_unique_combination_of_columns_stg_facebook_ads__creative_history_source_relation__creative_id___fivetran_synced:
      +enabled: false

Fix

Adding a where clause in the test config prevents the error:

# stg_facebook_ads.yml
  - name: stg_facebook_ads__creative_history
    description: Each record in this table reflects a Facebook creative.
    tests:
      - dbt_utils.unique_combination_of_columns:
          combination_of_columns:
            - source_relation
            - creative_id
            - _fivetran_synced
          config:
            where: is_most_recent_record

Let me know if this an acceptable solution and I will open a PR to make the change 🙂

Hey there @LewisDavies , thanks for taking the time to dig into this!

your solution definitely makes sense, but i just have one question first to see if we can simplify the test further - does the following test also return a failure?

# stg_facebook_ads.yml
  - name: stg_facebook_ads__creative_history
    description: Each record in this table reflects a Facebook creative.
    tests:
      - dbt_utils.unique_combination_of_columns:
          combination_of_columns:
            - source_relation
            - _fivetran_id

No worries! Just tried your config and the tests are passing for me:

amazing, let's go that route to keep the test nice and simple. if you're still open to contributing a PR, i'd be happy to prioritze reviewing it! if not, the team can pick this up next sprint 🤠
