Build Artifacts

Regenerate test fixture files after making changes to the dbt project in dbt_project/.

When to Use

• After modifying models, seeds, or tests in dbt_project/
• After upgrading dbt version dependencies
• When tests fail because fixture data is stale

Steps

1. Run the build

make build-artifacts

This generates fixtures for dbt 1.10 and 1.11 in tests/fixtures/dbt_1X/target/ (manifest.json, catalog.json, run_results.json). Note: dbt 1.9 fixtures are frozen and not regenerated.

Note: The Makefile uses specific dbt-duckdb version pins. Do not modify the version pins in the Makefile without understanding the compatibility matrix.

2. Verify the fixtures

Check that the generated files exist and are non-empty:

ls -la tests/fixtures/dbt_110/target/
ls -la tests/fixtures/dbt_111/target/

3. Run tests

make test

All tests should pass with the new fixtures. If tests fail, check whether the fixture schema changed in a way that requires test updates.
