Related to this public problem.
Fixes the stale parse cache case where an agent patched a macro but dbt kept using the previously parsed version. Use when a macro edit has no effect on compiled output. Not for edits to the wrong file, which is a separate cause with the same symptom.
Fixes an agent that misread run_results.json and reported success for a failed model. Use when automated reporting disagrees with the actual dbt run outcome. Not for humans reading the dbt console output directly.
Fixes the NoneType has no attribute execute crash during dbt run, where code expected a connection or cursor that was never opened. Use when a macro, hook, or adapter call fails with this exact attribute error. Not for ordinary warehouse SQL errors returned by the database.

Public search query: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'execute' in dbt run

Fixes the Runtime Error where the adapter macro snowflake_dml_explicit_transaction is not defined, usually a dbt and adapter version mismatch. Use when Snowflake runs fail inside transaction handling. Not for user macros with a similar name.

Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes the Compilation Error where a model calls generate_alias_name but dbt cannot find that macro in any package. Use when alias generation fails after removing or renaming a custom macro. Not for the built-in alias behavior with no custom macro.
Fixes the NoneType has no attribute execute crash during dbt run, where code expected a connection or cursor that was never opened. Use when a macro, hook, or adapter call fails with this exact attribute error. Not for ordinary warehouse SQL errors returned by the database.

Fixes the duplicate macro error where two definitions of cents_to_dollars exist in the project or its packages. Use when dbt reports two macros with the same name cents_to_dollars. Not for a macro that is simply missing.

Fixes the ParsingError for a stray endmacro tag left in model SQL after an edit. Use when dbt parse fails saying unexpected endmacro and names a model file. Not for macros that are genuinely missing an opening macro tag in the macro file itself.

Fixes the star macro crash where dbt_utils.star or a local star macro receives a relation with no columns and fails reading columns. Use when a Runtime Error in macro star names NoneType and columns. Not for a missing source table or a typo in the from relation name.
dbt.exceptions.CompilationError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get': findall returns a list so you can't use get method on it.
