Hey everyone, I have a few questions before I want to make the effort to fully install Elementary OSS: • Can I use all tests elementary offers on sources? (I've only seen schema change test in the docs for sources) • Can I use all tests dbt-expectations offers on sources? • How often do the source tests get run, when ever my "dbt run" runs? Thanks in advance! 🌟

• I haven't tried "all" elementary tests, but we use freshness & volume anomalies on sources • we also use a bunch of dbt_expectations tests on sources • For us, the source tests run with
dbt test
, just like on model tests. (I think dbt build does both run & test, but
dbt run
runs models and
dbt test
runs tests from the various test packages (dbt, dbt_expectations, elementary... I suppose there are others)

"Source" is under the models folder in the default organization, so apart from
dbt freshness
which is it's own command, tests seem to be treated the same for models & sources.

Thanks so much!
