Relationships fail silently when model doesn't exist, is it expected behavior ?

[dnnane]

I'm encountering an unexpected behavior while defining relationships between models in my configuration. I have two models: stg_jaffle_shop__customers and stg_jaffle_shop__orders. In my YAML configuration, I attempted to establish a relationship between the customer_id in stg_jaffle_shop__orders and the id in stg_jaffle_shop__customers using dbt (Data Build Tool) as shown below:

models:
  - name: stg_jaffle_shop__orders
    columns:
      - name: order_id
      - name: customer_id
        tests:
          - relationships:
              field: id
              to: ref('stg_jaffle_shop_customers')

However, I mistakenly wrote stg_jaffle_shop_customers instead of stg_jaffle_shop__customers. Despite this error, instead of receiving an error message due to the non-existent model, I'm getting the following output:

15:37:16 Found 6 models, 3 tests, 0 snapshots, 1 analysis, 192 macros, 0 operations, 6 seed files, 4 sources, 0 exposures, 0 metrics
15:37:16  
15:37:16 [WARNING]: Nothing to do. Try checking your model configs and model specification args

Is this behavior expected? I anticipated an error due to referencing a non-existent model.

I use dbt 1.1.5 and the plugin bigquery 1.1.0.
