apply policy to all models

[mbritton-neuroflow]

Is there a reason that
dbt run-operation apply_masking_policy --args '{"resource_type": "sources"}'
works for sources but not models? And that models need to have masking policies applied as a post-hook or on-run-end? I am able to run the above command with a resource_type of models but it does nothing.

It would be very helpful to have this feature to mitigate the difficulty of unapplying and reapplying masking policies when they change, because running all models can take a long time, but applying masking policies should be very quick.

Seems you're having the same issue as me here #42

dbt run-operation apply_masking_policy --args '{"resource_type": "models"}'

This was never a supported feature of this package\macro. apply_masking_policy happens after each model run as a post hook, adding this support may need further development

Think my PullRequest might cover this issue, check out the readme-edits to see the added functionality.

Yes, that looks like it meets intent! Thanks!

@entechlog In the instructions it says you can apply the masking policy by applying dbt run -- model <model-name> which it doesn't seem like this works. It needs to be done in the post hook as you also mentioned in #42. Should probably remove that instruction unless I'm misunderstanding here...

Is it an ongoing discussion? 'Cause in the readme it still claims an on-run-end would work, but the macro is checking on the resource_type which is "macro" on an on-run-end.

Alternatively, you can also apply the masking policies by specifying below post-hook OR on-run-end to dbt_project.yml

{% set model_resource_type = model.resource_type | string %} {% if model_resource_type|lower in ["model", "snapshot"] %}
