add column name to `compare_column_values` output
leoebfolsom opened this issue · comments
Describe the feature
I would like the compare_column_values macro to include a column called column_name. This would make it easier (possible?) to incorporate this package into a dbt test suite that tested all the columns in a model (or multiple models). I brought this up in Slack--here's a link in case there's any discussion).
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Paid tools exist.
- Not sure there is an alternative other than testing every column individually.
Additional context
I am building this for our Snowflake warehouse, but I think it would work across warehouses.
Who will this benefit?
This is for AEs and other data stakeholders who want to run a rigorous test suite that detects data changes when a PR is submitted (or, more generally, data changes between different versions of code).
Are you interested in contributing this feature?
Yes--I'm currently working on a branch on a fork and will open a PR shortly (happy to take direction/guidance and adjust accordingly).
