Efficient Testing Workflow for API Changes in Redash: Seeking Advice 🙏

[nakamurau1]

Hi everyone,

I am contributing to the Redash project and working on fixing the issue described in Issue #7052. As part of the fix, I need to modify the API and follow a test-driven development approach.

However, I am facing an issue where running make test triggers the Docker image build process, which significantly increases the time it takes to run the tests. This is making the development process slower than I would like.

Could anyone share their workflow for developing and testing API changes in Redash? Specifically, I would like to know:

1.	How to avoid rebuilding the Docker image every time I run the tests?
2.	Are there alternative methods or best practices for running tests more efficiently?

Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
