Verified

Consider this DAG for a dbt project. Your environment is configured to use one thread.

When you run dbt run, you find that model_d fails to materialize.

Question Image

How will changing the command from dbt run to dbt run --fail-fast affect execution when model_d fails to materialize? Choose 1 option.

Explanation

The --fail-fast flag stops a dbt run at the first failure. With one thread, once model_d fails, dbt stops building additional nodes, including any unrelated models that have not yet run. (docs.getdbt.com)
