What are you changing in this pull request and why?
There's been multiple times where people have tried adding unit tests to models that use introspective queries on the given inputs (e.g. dbt-core#10759, dbt-core#11121).
It is a known limitation that this will not work unless something like dbt-core#8499 is implemented.
In the meantime, we should document this limitation.
