Seeds error: unexpected column list in insert statement

I’m getting the error below when attempting to load a seeds file. (I’m new so this is my first time trying.)

Runtime Error in seed test_seed (data/test_seed.csv)
  Database Error
    org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.parser.ParseException:
    mismatched input 'my_col_a' expecting {'(', 'SELECT', 'FROM', 'VALUES', 'TABLE', 'INSERT', 'MAP', 'REDUCE'}(line 2, pos 43)

    == SQL ==

                insert into default.test_seed (my_col_a,  my_col_b) values
    -------------------------------------------^^^
                ('hi',' "Hi"'),('bye',' "Bye"')

On comparing this with the online docs checking the documentation, it looks like the column list is disallowed.

The query dtb-spark is trying to run is:

insert into default.test_seed (my_col_a,  my_col_b) values ('hi',' "Hi"'),('bye',' "Bye"')

And the corrected query would be:

insert into default.test_seed values ('hi',' "Hi"'),('bye',' "Bye"')

(Confirmed above via testing in Spark 2.4)

Or to retain the self-documenting aspect (given that columns apparently can’t be declared):

insert into default.test_seed /*(my_col_a,  my_col_b)*/ values ('hi',' "Hi"'),('bye',' "Bye"')

Happy to send a PR if you know where in the code I should start. I’m new to DBT but happy to contribute if I can.
