@graciegoheen Do you need Docs support on this? I think we should aim to have all issues addressed by Friday 2/23 to give reviewers and authors enough time.

Lemme check in with Michelle, we can probably pair on this and I can tag you for a review!

Known exceptions:

• can't unit test for precision / correct data type (since dbt converts your mock data into the correct data type to execute the unit test)

Re-opening - this is different than the docs for the format config. Michelle and I will work on this, but this it not blocking for the beta

@graciegoheen Sorry about that. Is there a current doc to reference? I can get started

[graciegoheen]

@matthewshaver Here you go!
