Hi there!  
Can I test dbt seeds folder only?  
I manage to test my seed when running dbt test, but it tests everything in my project… I would like to test only the seeds…  
I’ve also tried dbt test --select seeds and a bunch of other stuff, and I can’t find anything on the internet… Can anyone tell me if it is possible to test it?
