feat: add --use-cloud-function flag to validate_config#3286
Merged
Conversation
Add a --use-cloud-function/--no-use-cloud-function option to validate_config (default on). With --no-use-cloud-function, queries are dry run using the current user's credentials instead of the dry run Cloud Function's service account, allowing validation of configs that reference tables only the user can read (e.g. personal analysis tables).

Change looks good, but need to update tests for the new parameter (and probably should add a new test or two for the new functionality).

If I remember correctly, it was intentional for the dryrun SA not to have access to personal/tmp tables. Though I don't remember the full reason. This flag would be useful in any case though, e.g. if tables are in sandbox projects.
