Ability to run only specified model with dbt run

[vaughnkoch]

Sometimes I want to test a particular model without triggering other slow models, and I don't want to fiddle with the config file to enable:false them.

It would be great to be able to run a specific model like this:
dbt run myspecialmodel

Side note: I've noticed that dbt run seems to randomize the order in which it processes tables. It would be nice to have that deterministic.

hey @vaughnkoch - check out the --models argument to dbt run here. Note that this argument also applies to dbt test.

I made another issues here #813 for the second part of your question. There's sort of a bigger change we want to make to dbt's run ordering, and I think determinism will definitely be a part of it.

Going to close this issue, but let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks, must have missed the --models arg :)
