Elementary 0.7.6

​

🔥 What’s new?

• Custom test names are now supported! 🖌🎨
  • For every dbt test, you can provide an indicative name and Elementary will show it!
  • Here is an example:

tests:
  - accepted_values:
      values: ["ios", "android", "windows"]
      name: unexpected_operating_system

• You can read more about the use cases from @Marta Massarotti and @Owen in the Github issue.
• CLI improvements 💻😎
  • Target path for all edr files
    • We added a new -target-path flag for all the outputs to make it easier to maintain and deploy Elementary.
    • Thanks @Gemma Down for the issue and use case!
  • Added edr monitor debug command
    • This would help you debug connection and profile issues.
