You can also instruct UpdateDataDocsAction to build only certain sites by providing a site_names key with a list of sites to update:

    - local_site

Parameters:

  • data_context – Data Context that is used by the Action.

  • site_names – Optional. A list of the names of sites to update.

  • target_site_names –

    Optional. Deprecated. A list of the names of sites to update.

run(validation_result_suite: great_expectations.core.expectation_validation_result.ExpectationSuiteValidationResult, validation_result_suite_identifier: Union[great_expectations.data_context.types.resource_identifiers.ValidationResultIdentifier, great_expectations.data_context.types.resource_identifiers.GXCloudIdentifier], data_asset, expectation_suite_identifier: Optional[great_expectations.data_context.types.resource_identifiers.ExpectationSuiteIdentifier] = None, checkpoint_identifier=None, **kwargs)#

Public entrypoint GX uses to trigger a ValidationAction.

When a ValidationAction is configured in a Checkpoint, this method gets called after the Checkpoint produces an ExpectationSuiteValidationResult.

Parameters:

  • validation_result_suite – An instance of the ExpectationSuiteValidationResult class.

  • validation_result_suite_identifier – an instance of either the ValidationResultIdentifier class (for open source Great Expectations) or the GXCloudIdentifier (from Great Expectations Cloud).

  • data_asset – An instance of the Validator class.

  • expectation_suite_identifier – Optionally, an instance of the ExpectationSuiteIdentifier class.

  • checkpoint_identifier – Optionally, an Identifier for the Checkpoint.

  • kwargs – named parameters that are specific to a given Action, and need to be assigned a value in the Action's configuration in a Checkpoint's action_list.

Returns:

A Dict describing the result of the Action.
