How to add a Jinja function to .sqlfluff config

Question

I'm using the jinja functions run_query and execute. https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/run_query

But when sqlfluff lint I get the following error: Undefined jinja template variable: 'run_query'

I'm trying to add it to the .sqlfluff config but there doesn't seem to be any guidance anywhere on how to add this to the config file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Answer 1

Add templater=dbt in your .sqlfluff config file.

Answer 2

I have managed to figure out how to add run_query:

run_query = {% macro run_query(query) %}'query'{% endmacro %}

But I am still unsure on how to add execute to the .sqlfluff config. Figured it!

execute = {% macro execute() %}True{% endmacro %}
