Hi,

We are using dbt run and dbt test for our dbt execution. Due to some additional requirements we are using on-run-start and on-run-end hooks in dbt\_project.yaml.  
However, after upgrading to the latest we observed that, on-run-start and on-run-end executed twice as part of dbt run and dbt test.  
Is there anyway we can avoid this in dbt test?  
Thanks
