Set the minimum percentage of models that have a unit test.

Warning

This check is only supported for dbt 1.8.0 and above.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
min_unit_test_coverage_pct float

The minimum percentage of models that must have a unit test.

required

Receives at execution time:

Name Type Description
models List[DbtBouncerModelBase]

List of DbtBouncerModelBase objects parsed from manifest.json.

unit_tests List[UnitTests]

List of UnitTests objects parsed from manifest.json.

Other Parameters (passed via config file):

Name Type Description
include Optional[str]

Regex pattern to match the model path. Only model paths that match the pattern will be checked.

severity Optional[Literal['error', 'warn']]

Severity level of the check. Default: error.
