## Hello, i’m trying to run dbt tests on sources in airflow. What i’ve tried is using DbtTaskGroup operator but it seems like it only runs the tests on models, is there a way to also use this operator for running tests on sources?

## I want to run them on sources because i don’t want fo recreate every table in warehouse as model.

@batman_007 . You can create generic test and attach into source table.

for Eg:

- Create generic folder under test and write your test SQL model.  
tests/generic/data\_count\_check.sql

- data\_count\_check.sql

- schema.yml file

- dbt test --select tag:data\_count\_dq\_check

Hope this helps !!
