Hey All,
I am trying to get lineage working without using ref in dbt. Are there possibilities of getting a lineage for models without using ref.
Why I’m trying to do this-
We changed names of models and found that the lineages were broken when we changed the references to source instead of ref.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
Use source instead of ref will still give you lineage
Note: @Nick Pinfold originally posted this reply in Slack. It might not have transferred perfectly.
Not really, from what I have seen, the upstream lineage stops at sources, so if you are populating a table with dbt that is later used as a source, you won’t see those dependencies.
