11/19/2025, 10:44 AMyaml flags: require_explicit_package_overrides_for_builtin_materializations: false you may still see the warning message about materialization overrides. This is expected behavior for now. The flag allows Elementary to override dbt's built-in materializations (which is required for features like collecting failed row samples and counts), but it does not suppress the warning itself. The warning is a temporary measure and will remain until a more permanent solution is implemented in dbt-core. If you want to mute the warning, you can set the variable mute_ensure_materialization_override: true in your dbt_project.yml, but according to user reports, this does not always fully suppress the warning in all environments, and it is an open issue being worked on by the Elementary and dbt teams. The functionality should still work as expected as long as the flag is set to `false`—the warning is informational and does not indicate a failure to override materializations or a loss of functionality. You do not need to implement your own override unless you have a specific need to customize the materialization beyond what Elementary provides. For more details, see the official documentation and community discussions: - [Elementary OSS Quickstart: Allowing Elementary to override dbt's default materializations](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/quickstart/quickstart-cli-package#important-allowing-elementary-to-override-dbts-default-materializations-relevant-from-dbt-1-8) - [Slack discussion on warning and flag behavior](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1715016357916139) - [GitHub issue on warning suppression](https://github.com/elementary-data/elementary/issues/1692) In summary: - The warning is expected and does not mean the override is not working. - The flag enables the required functionality. - Muting the warning is not always effective, but the Elementary team is working on a solution. - You do not need to implement your own override unless you have a custom requirement.
