Not Empty Test

Test to check if a value is not empty.

NotEmptyTest

info

NotEmptyTest is defined beneath the following ancestor nodes in the YAML structure:

• Component
• AliasedTableComponent
• CustomPythonReadComponent
• ExternalTableComponent
• FivetranComponent
• ReadComponent
• TaskComponent
• TransformComponent
• ComponentTestOptions

Below are the properties for the NotEmptyTest. Each property links to the specific details section further down in this page.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
severity	error	string ("error", "warn")	No	The severity level for issues raised by the test. Default is 'error'. Use 'error' for critical issues that should interrupt flow processing. Use 'warn' for warnings/minor issues that should not interrupt flow processing.
not_empty			No	Test to check if a value is not empty.
