@jtcohen6 i just want to make sure i understand this, do i have to replace dbt debug with dbt debug --connection to test just the connection? and is this for ALL versions or just for 1.6 and higher?

  • dbt debug (no flags) works the same as always, and it tests everything: your DWH connection, plus the validity of your project file and your installation of any requisite dependencies (namely git for running dbt deps)
  • You can specify dbt debug --connection (with the added flag) to skip those other checks, and just test the connection to the DWH given a profile
  • This new capability (--connection flag) is for just v1.6+
