Known issues

breakingdbt-tests-adapter was extracted from the dbt-adapter-tests package in dbt-core v1.8. Import paths changed from dbt.adapters.tests to dbt.tests.adapter.

fix

Update imports: use from dbt.tests.adapter instead of from dbt.adapters.tests.

affects: >=1.8.0

gotchaThe package is distributed as part of the dbt-adapters monorepo; installing via pip install dbt-tests-adapter fetches the standalone package. However, ensure you also install dbt-core to resolve dependencies.

fix

Install both: pip install dbt-tests-adapter dbt-core.

affects: >=1.0.0
