Usage

Commands

Install macros

dbta wap install

Copies the WAP macros into macros/dbt_addons/ in your current dbt project. Re-run after upgrading the package.

Run with WAP

dbta run --wap
dbta build --wap

The --wap flag activates the full Write-Audit-Publish flow. Without it, dbta behaves exactly like dbt.

All standard dbt flags are supported:

dbta build --wap --select stg_customers fct_customers
dbta build --wap -s stg_customers fct_customers
dbta run --wap --target prod

What happens

1. dbt run / dbt build runs normally — models are built in the staging schema
2. run_results.json is parsed to find which models succeeded and which tests failed
3. Models with failing tests are excluded from the publish step
4. wap_deploy is called — tables are promoted to prod via clone or copy
5. A summary is printed
