dbt-core v1.11.13
Release includes a deprecation warning for older dbt versions, fixes for unit testing with versioned models and partial parsing issues, and dependency updates for Docker builds. Key improvements address non-deterministic filesystem parse order problems in model and test resolution.
dbt-core 1.11.13 - August 12, 2026
Features
- Warn users if they are using a deprecated dbt version (#15964)
Fixes
- Fix intermittent "references a model that does not exist" parsing error when unit testing versioned models, caused by non-deterministic filesystem parse order (#11139)
- Fix partial parsing ghost-duplicate that raised a false "found two data_tests" error by cleaning up disabled generic and singular test nodes on schema re-parse (#)
- Stop resolving a unit test's tested model eagerly at parse time; resolve it only in the single deterministic post-parse pass so resolution no longer depends on filesystem parse order at all (deeper fix for (#11139)
Dependencies
- Bump ca-certificates, libpq-dev, and openssh-client in Docker image to current bullseye versions to fix Docker release build failure caused by superseded package versions (#NA)
