  • I have read the contribution docs, and understand what's expected of me.

Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

Slack thread for context

Not sure which page should be updated!

  • exit codes
  • testing documentation
  • somewhere else?

What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?

Add explanation for why exit codes vary for data tests & unit tests

something something "Data tests are queries that return one row per failed test case, i.e. the number of values with duplicates for the unique test. dbt will report the number of failing records as failures. Whereas each unit test represents one 'test case' — so failures is always 0 (pass) or 1 (fail) for that test case."
