…ency Adds five requested _with_context variants, extracts the duplicated context column logic into one helper, and replaces the dbt_expectations regex call with a native cross-database implementation. New tests: expression_is_true_with_context not_empty_string_with_context expect_column_pair_values_A_to_be_greater_than_B_with_context expect_compound_columns_to_be_unique_with_context expect_column_values_to_match_regex_list_with_context get_context_select_clause replaces what was the same ~20 line block copied into every _with_context test, and would have been eleven copies with the new ones. It also guards on `execute`: at parse time `model` is the test node, so the old code queried a relation named after the test and warned that every context column was missing, once per test per parse. regexp_match is a new cross_db_util. The regex tests called dbt_expectations.regexp_instr even though dbt_expectations is not in packages.yml, so they only compiled for users who happened to install it. dbt_expectations implements regexp_instr for 8 adapters while Elementary supports 14, so the tests were also silently wrong on athena, clickhouse, dremio and vertica, and failed outright on sqlserver and fabric. The new macro returns a boolean rather than a position, which removes a boolean-compared-to-integer coercion, and T-SQL now raises a clear compile error instead of emitting SQL it cannot run. Note for anyone touching regexp_match: Snowflake's and Dremio's regexp_like implicitly anchor at both ends and are not drop-in replacements for a substring search. Both are handled, and an integration test covers it. Removes accepted_range_with_context. dbt_utils.accepted_range already selects * unconditionally, so the variant could only ever narrow a sample, never enrich one. Verified end to end on duckdb. Every test that shipped in 0.23.1 was compiled before and after and diffed: all produce identical SQL except the regex predicate, which changes shape but not semantics.

Render regex as an adapter-aware SQL string literal.
elementary.regexp_match passes regex to adapter macros that concatenate it into single-quoted literals. A pattern such as O'Reilly can break compilation or alter parsing on non-raw branches, including BigQuery’s r'...' branch. Use adapter-specific literal escaping, and preserve Snowflake’s $$...$$ delimiter handling.

Confirmed: regex: "O'Reilly" emits col ~ 'O'Reilly', and is_raw on Snowflake terminates early on a pattern containing "$$". Deferring to a follow-up rather than doing it here, because a correct fix needs per-adapter literal handling and the obvious shortcut is harmful: elementary.escape_special_chars maps \ → \, which turns a pattern of \d+ into a literal backslash followed by d. The right fix escapes only the quote character in each dialect's own way ('', not '), leaves backslashes alone, and handles $$ separately on the raw path. Also pre-existing: the previous dbt_expectations.regexp_instr call interpolated the pattern the same way

@joostboon, thanks for the detailed confirmation.
The finding is valid. The current PR does not need an unsafe partial fix.
A follow-up should render regex literals per adapter. It must escape only the SQL string delimiter, preserve regex backslashes, and handle Snowflake $$ delimiters on the raw-string path.
Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for this follow-up?

Learning: In `macros/utils/cross_db_utils/regexp_match.sql`, do not use `elementary.escape_special_chars` to render regex SQL literals. It converts `\` to `\\`, which changes regex patterns such as `\d+`. Adapter-specific literal rendering must escape only the dialect's SQL string delimiter, preserve regex backslashes, and handle `$$` in Snowflake raw-string literals.

Blocker 1: the four new regex integration tests had no skip marker, so they
would fail on sqlserver and fabric where regexp_match raises by design.
Added skip_targets for both.
Blocker 2: test_not_empty_string_with_context could never pass on a
dbt seed based target. The default seeder writes a CSV and dbt types seed
columns with agate Text(null_values=("null", "")), whose cast() checks
`d.strip().lower() in null_values`, so any all-whitespace or empty cell is
read as NULL. Verified against the real agate: ' ' casts to None. The
column was therefore all NULL, trim(NULL) = '' is NULL, nothing failed and
the status assertion blew up. Restricted to the three targets that bypass
dbt seed and preserve the value verbatim.
match_on now raises on anything other than any/all instead of silently
falling back to "or", which inverted what the test asserted. It also
accepts uppercase, which previously fell through to "or" as well.
row_condition is now parenthesized. `where not (...) and {{ row_condition }}`
turned `a = 1 or b = 2` into `(not(...) and a = 1) or b = 2`. Confirmed on
duckdb: 2 matching rows with the parentheses, 3 without.
Nits: dropped `g` from the Vertica flag alphabet, since it is a
REGEXP_REPLACE modifier and REGEXP_LIKE would reject it, which is the exact
failure the sanitizer exists to prevent. Corrected the is_raw docstring,
which claimed the literal was identical on adapters without raw-string
syntax; it is a silent no-op, and that matters where the engine processes
backslash escapes. Corrected the regexp_inline_flags comment, which named
only RE2/PCRE though it is also used for Postgres ARE and Java.

Fixes the one CI failure this PR introduced, plus a set of correctness issues found by running the macros rather than reading them. postgres CI: test_expect_column_pair_values_a_to_be_greater_than_b_with_context was 66 characters. conftest returns request.node.name verbatim as test_id and dbt_project uses it as the seed table name, dbt's seed materialization calls this.incorporate(type='table'), and PostgresRelation.__post_init__ rejects any identifier over 63 characters. Both postgres jobs errored during setup with "Relation name '...' is longer than 63 characters". Renamed to 46 characters. Every other target passed, so this was the only PR-caused red job. regex_list and column_list: a bare string satisfied the non-empty guard and was then iterated one character at a time. regex_list: "^abc$" compiled to five per-character predicates joined by or, and since ^ matches an empty position in every value the test passed unconditionally. Reproduced on duckdb: 0 failing rows for the string form against 2 for the correct list form. Both tests now coerce a scalar to a one-element list, and both guard emptiness BEFORE coercing so "" still raises rather than becoming [""]. Flag alphabets: dropped 'e' from snowflake and redshift, where it makes REGEXP_INSTR return a capture-group position rather than the match position, so the "> 0" that means "matched" reports a conforming row as a violation. Dropped 'g' from duckdb, which is the same bug the previous commit fixed for vertica; confirmed against duckdb 1.5.5: "Option 'g' (global replace) is only valid for regexp_replace". Negated flags now raise. Stripping the '-' as if it were an unsupported letter kept the letters after it, so flags="-i" emitted a case-insensitive match, the exact opposite of the request. There is no portable way to honor a negation (Postgres ARE has no (?-i), and where an alphabet carries a letter and its opposite absent does not mean off), so this fails loudly instead. Dremio: scoped the padding's (?s) to the padding groups. As a bare top-level directive it ran to the end of the whole pattern, so a user's '.' silently crossed newlines on this adapter alone. Verified the scoped form preserves search semantics across 11 cases including anchors and top-level alternation. quality_dimension: expression_is_true_with_context and expect_column_pair_values_A_to_be_greater_than_B_with_context were "validity" while the tests they mirror are "accuracy", so switching a test to the _with_context variant moved it between dimensions. All ten entries now match their base. Renamed the window helper to elementary_n_records in both unique tests. A tested model with its own n_records column produced two identically named columns in the derived table and an ambiguous outer reference. The alias is internal and never reaches the stored sample. get_context_select_clause: raise instead of returning an empty select list when a relation reports no columns, which emitted "select from (...)". Also corrected the parse-time comment, which claimed dbt would query a relation named after the test; get_columns_in_relation is decorated @available.parse_list, so dbt substitutes a stub returning [] and issues no query at all.

Restores the test with a deprecation notice rather than deleting it outright. Generic tests resolve during schema parsing, so deleting it would have failed `dbt parse`, `compile`, `run` and `build` alike for any project still listing it in a schema.yml, with no hint about what replaced it. It shipped in 0.23.1. The shim is shorter than the code it replaces, because the context-column logic is now the shared get_context_select_clause helper. Its emitted SQL was diffed against the 0.23.1 implementation across ten argument shapes, including a case-mismatched duplicate column, a nonexistent context column, an empty list and a bare string: identical in all ten. The notice uses log(info=true) rather than exceptions.warn(), so that upgrading cannot fail a run for anyone using --warn-error. Defeating the purpose of the shim to emit a tidier warning would be a poor trade. Re-registered in both sites it needs to be in: the with_context list in get_test_type.sql, and the elementary namespace block of common_test_configs.sql, where its quality_dimension stays "validity" to match dbt_utils.accepted_range and its description now leads with the deprecation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The `default_clause=none` path lists every column of the tested relation, and did so unquoted. A mixed-case name on Snowflake (`myCol`, created quoted) folded to `MYCOL` and failed to resolve, and a reserved name on Postgres (`order`) was a syntax error. Both affected `expect_column_values_to_be_unique_with_context` and `expect_compound_columns_to_be_unique_with_context` whenever `context_columns` was omitted. Only the introspected names are quoted. They come from the warehouse's own metadata, so they are already in the relation's real case and quoting resolves to the same column. The user-supplied context and tested column names are left alone: callers write those in whatever case they like, and quoting them would stop them matching. Checked the one case that would have made this a regression: dbt-bigquery's _get_dbt_columns_from_bq_table iterates table.schema at the top level and passes sub-fields via col.fields, so it does not return dotted struct.field names that quoting would corrupt. `relationships_with_context`, the only caller passing a prefix, is unaffected: it passes default_clause="child.*" and never reaches this branch. Raised by CodeRabbit on PR #1046. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
dbt renders generic-test bodies while parsing, with execute=false. A compiler error raised there aborts every dbt command for the whole project rather than failing the one test, and `config: enabled: false` does not save it because the body is rendered before the node's config is consulted. Confirmed on dbt 1.12.3 with a stub generic test: `dbt parse` and `dbt ls --resource-type test` both abort, and the body logs execute=false. The same guard the select-clause helper already uses fixes all three sites. - sqlserver__regexp_match / fabric__regexp_match now raise only when execute is true and otherwise emit a valid predicate. A SQL Server project containing a regex test can parse again; the node still fails with the same message when it runs, which is what master did. - The negated-flag error is gated the same way. It also no longer refuses outright: adapters that take inline flags can express `(?-i)`, so `-` is now part of their alphabet and passes through. Adapters with a separate flags argument still refuse, because dropping `-` would enable exactly what the caller asked to disable. - Dropped-flag warnings move from exceptions.warn to edr_log_warning. exceptions.warn is escalated to an error by --warn-error, so at parse time it took the project down. That contradicted the comment above it, and the deprecation shim had already chosen log() for this reason. - The deprecation warning moves to edr_log_warning too, which gates on execute. It was printing once per node on every command that parses. Also from review: - Trino/Athena drop `U`. The engine is joni (Java), not RE2: joni throws UNDEFINED_GROUP_OPTION, and Java's `U` means UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS rather than RE2's ungreedy swap, so the letter would not even mean the same thing. - Adds a regression test pinning that a NULL value is not reported as a regex failure. Behaviour is unchanged from this branch and correct, but Postgres differed on master (its dbt_expectations path wrapped the match in coalesce(..., 0) and counted NULL rows as failing), so the contract is worth asserting. Postgres users will see such a test go green with no data change. - Widens the is_raw note: Redshift consumes backslashes too and has no raw form, Snowflake is exposed whenever is_raw is false, and the Databricks and Fabric Spark adapters inherit Spark's exposure. - Notes that Postgres ARE takes embedded options only at the very start of a pattern, so flags cannot be combined with a pattern already starting `(?...)`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adding `-` to eight alphabets let malformed forms through, because `-` is an ordinary character to the dropping loop. RE2, Java and joni all require a letter after it and reject a doubled one. Confirmed against DuckDB's RE2: `(?-i)` and `(?i-s)` parse, while `(?i-)`, `(?-)` and `(?--)` are rejected. Two checks, both gated on execute like the others: - Refuse `--` or a trailing `-` on input, matching the rule dbt_expectations encodes as `^(?!.*--)[-imsU]*(?<!-)$`. A leading `-` stays valid, that being the clear-what-follows form. - Drop a dangling `-` left behind by the letter loop. The input check cannot catch this one: `i-Z` is well formed until `Z` is dropped as unsupported, leaving `i-`. Clearing a flag the engine does not have is a no-op, so the operator goes with it. Also reconciles three comments that the previous commit left contradicting the code: the claim that `-` is always rejected rather than dropped, the older paragraph arguing no dialect can honor a negation, and the docstring rule that negation follows from taking inline flags. It does not: Postgres takes flags inline and still cannot express one. The rule is whether the adapter's alphabet lists `-`. Adds a harness covering the sanitizer across alphabets, including the parse-time paths and the drop-induced dangling operator. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds the five
_with_contextvariants that were requested, extracts the duplicated context-column logic into one helper, and replaces thedbt_expectationsregex call with a native cross-database implementation.New tests
expression_is_true_with_contextnot_empty_string_with_contextexpect_column_pair_values_A_to_be_greater_than_B_with_contextexpect_compound_columns_to_be_unique_with_contextexpect_column_values_to_match_regex_list_with_contextget_context_select_clauseEvery
_with_contexttest carried its own copy of the same ~20 line context-resolution block. With the new tests that would have been eleven copies, so it is now one macro.It also guards on
execute. At parse timemodelis the test node rather than the tested relation, so the previous code ranget_columns_in_relationagainst a relation named after the test and warned that every context column was missing, once per context column per test on every full parse.regexp_matchBoth regex tests called
dbt_expectations.regexp_instr(), butdbt_expectationsis not inpackages.yml, so they only compiled for users who happened to install it themselves.dbt_expectationsoverridesregexp_instrfor seven adapters (snowflake, bigquery, postgres, redshift, duckdb, spark, trino) while Elementary supports 14. Everything else fell through to adefault__ofregexp_instr(col, 'p', 1, 1), a function that does not exist on Athena, ClickHouse, Dremio, SQL Server or Fabric, so the regex tests errored outright on all five. Vertica happened to work, since it does haveREGEXP_INSTR.The new macro:
rlike,~,regexp_contains,match, ...)Important
Snowflake's and Dremio's
regexp_likeimplicitly anchor the pattern at both ends and are not drop-in replacements for a substring search. Both are handled, andtest_match_regex_with_context_searches_substringsis a regression test for exactly this.Deprecated
accepted_range_with_contextis deprecated and will be removed in the next release. It still works, and still honourscontext_columns, but running it logs a warning pointing atdbt_utils.accepted_range.dbt_utils.accepted_rangealready selects*unconditionally, so unlike every other variant here this one could never enrich a sample. It could only narrow one.To be explicit about the trade-off rather than presenting this as pure cleanup: narrowing is a real use case. Someone keeping PII out of stored samples would have been using it for exactly that, and they lose it when the removal lands. The remaining levers for that are the
show_sample_rowsand PII tags,disable_test_samples, andtest_sample_row_count, all handled inhandle_dbt_test.Deleting it outright would have been a hard break: the test shipped in 0.23.1, and generic tests resolve during parsing, so any project still listing it in a
schema.ymlwould faildbt parse,compile,runandbuildalike, with no hint about what replaced it. Carrying it for one release costs little, because the context-column logic is now the sharedget_context_select_clausehelper and the shim is shorter than the code it replaces. Its emitted SQL was diffed against the 0.23.1 implementation across ten argument shapes, including a case-mismatched duplicate column, a nonexistent context column, an empty list and a bare string: identical in all ten.The deprecation notice goes through
elementary.edr_log_warningrather thanexceptions.warn(), so that upgrading cannot fail a run for anyone using--warn-error. It gates onexecute, so it prints once per run rather than once per node on every command that parses.Backwards compatibility
The
_with_contexttests shipped in 0.23.1. Every one of them was compiled before and after this change and the SQL diffed:not_null_with_context(with, without, and with an invalid context column)relationships_with_contextexpect_column_values_to_not_be_null_with_contextrow_conditionparenthesized)row_conditioncontains a top-levelorexpect_column_values_to_be_unique_with_contextrow_conditionparenthesized; window alias renamed toelementary_n_records)row_conditioncontains a top-levelorexpect_column_values_to_match_regex_with_context= 0tonot (...);row_conditionparenthesized)row_conditioncontains a top-levelor; on Postgres a NULL value is no longer reported as a failureThe Postgres change is also a fix, and the one behaviour change a user could notice without touching their config. Master's Postgres path came from
dbt_expectations, which wrapped the match incoalesce(..., 0)and so counted a NULL row as failing; every other adapter already returned NULL and ignored it. Postgres now matches them. An existing Postgres user will see such a test go green with no change to their data.test_match_regex_with_context_ignores_nullspins this.The two
row_conditiondifferences are a fix, not a regression.where not (...) and {{ row_condition }}parsed as(not (...) and a = 1) or b = 2for arow_conditionofa = 1 or b = 2, so those rows were previously filtered wrongly. The window-alias rename avoids a collision with a tested model that has its own column namedn_records; the alias is internal and never reaches the stored sample.One benign change: duplicate context columns now collapse, so
["ctx", "ctx"]emitsselect label, ctxrather thanselect label, ctx, ctx. The stored sample is unchanged either way, since duplicate keys collapse when the row is serialised to JSON.Testing
Verified end to end against duckdb: all tests compile and execute, and every failure count matches expectation. Eleven new integration tests (12 in the file, 1 of which is master's) cover the new variants, the substring-search semantics, the case-insensitive flag,
match_onany/all, NULL handling, and that theelementary_n_recordshelper column never leaks into a sample. Coverage per adapter is not uniform: the four regex tests run on 12 of 14 (T-SQL has no regex functions, soregexp_matchraises there by design),not_empty_string_with_contextruns on 3 of 14 (dbt types seed columns with agateText(null_values=("null", "")), whosecast()reads an all-whitespace cell as NULL, so only the targets that bypassdbt seedcan seed a genuine empty string), and the remaining five run on all 14. The regex tests on those 12 adapters are what verifies the per-adapter regex implementations.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
