@dbeatty10 Could you review this pull request?

It looks like #893 intentionally only changed the integration_tests folder in order for it to be a non-breaking change.

So I think we're going to leave the documentation as-is.

If we did choose to merge this change, it would need to be data_tests: (underscore!) rather than data-tests:.

@dbeatty10 Thank you for your response. I have corrected data-tests: to data_tests:.

According to the official documentation, tests: will continue to be supported, but dbt 1.8 and later will output a warning by default. I think that the number of users of dbt 1.8 and later will continue to increase, and versions prior to dbt 1.8 will reach the end of life support level on Nov 1, 2024. I think that dbt-labs would like to recommend data_tests:, and I think that data_tests: is appropriate as the documentation provided by dbt-labs.

@dbeatty10 Thank you for your response. I have corrected data-tests: to data_tests:.

According to the official documentation, tests: will continue to be supported, but dbt 1.8 and later will output a warning by default.

Is avoiding the warning your primary concern here? Or alignment with the official documentation? It's okay if your main concern is both or something completely else too!

If it's the warning, we do have an open issue to cease raising a warning here: dbt-labs/dbt-core#10564. We'd probably update the official documentation at the same time.
