Test Connector Locally

Build, deploy, and test a connector in a full local OpenMetadata stack with Docker.

When to Activate

When a user asks to "test locally", "start docker", "deploy locally", "test in the UI", "bring up the stack", or "run local docker".

Arguments

• --skip-maven or --fast: Skip the Maven build (use when only ingestion Python code changed)
• --rebuild: Tear down existing containers and rebuild
• --teardown or --down: Just stop and remove containers
• No arguments: Auto-detect what changed and choose the optimal build strategy
