Overview

I have enabled "validate_macro_args: True" in my project and I am getting these warning in my project. I would like to know if there warning are legitimate warnings or any issues with package macros.

Sample code where the macro has been used along with right datatype arguments:

{{ dbt_utils.generate_surrogate_key(
field_list = [
'yoy_grouped.PROVR_DURABLE_KEY',
'yoy_grouped.PRI_DEPMENT_DURABLE_KEY',
'yoy_grouped.APOINTMENT_STATUS_DSC',
'yoy_grouped.VSIT_METHOD_DSC',
'yoy_grouped.VSIT_TYPE_DSC',
'yoy_grouped.UNAVAILABLE_REASON_DC',
'yoy_grouped.METRIC_ID'
]
) }} AS VARCHAR(50)) COLLATE 'en-ci' AS ROW_HASH_ID

How to reproduce

set validate_macro_args: True in project.yml file

Expected behaviour

Not sure if the warnings are legitimate warnings
