quote: true for column in .yml properties causes tests not to render in TESTS column in the Column table

[barberscott]

Given model docs_test.sql with:

select 'foo' as "My Space", 'bar' as "NoSpace"

and docs_test.yml with:

version: 2

models:
  - name: docs_test
    columns:  
      - name: My Space
        quote: true
        tests:
        - not_null
      - name: NoSpace
        quote: true
        tests:
        - not_null

a dbt docs generate runs but when I got to view docs I don't see docs for either referenced under the TESTS column in the Columns table in the browser.

This code in the underlying javascript <!-- ngIf: has_test(column, 'N') --> doesn't seem to be able to find the column when quote: true is applied. That source is here..

Things I tried to work around:

• Removing quote works for docs, but then breaks the test since I need to preserve lettercase and/or the space here.
• Adding quotes to name: like "'My Space'" allows the test to work, but results in a double entry in docs.

Hi @barberscott, we're experiencing the same issue you're describing above.

Same here.

I looked into manifest.json and found that column_names of test resources have quotes, but column_names of models does not. As a result, this code return false and tests column becomes empty.
