ignore tests with deps

[mxfactorial]

current

https://doc.arroyo.dev/developing/dev-setup#testing tasks the cargo test and cargo nextest run commands after a master clone but several tests with dependencies fail

expected

1. post master clone cargo test commands pass
2. cargo test -- --ignored to run tests with dependencies

welcome to change expected

Hey @mxfactorial — thanks for your contribution! I feel for the problem you're trying to solve here—it's annoying for tests to fail because of services that aren't running. However, I don't think using ignore is the best approach, since these are valuable tests that in general we do want to run. Instead, it might be possible to use cargo features to disable tests, since in CI we already run with --all-features.

can add kafka = [] to Cargo.toml features, then #[cfg_attr(not(feature = "kafka"), ignore)] etc

but more errors appear since opening the pr

for example, cargo test fails when crates/arroyo-controller/build.rs doesnt connect to postgres

the devx intended by this branch is a pass after git clone && cargo test

which devs rely on for an initial sanity test when onboarding

but this project doesnt currently restrict cargo test to unit tests

add requirements at your leisure

can help test on a fresh machine if lowering the onboarding cost is a priority for you

other options:

1. increasing content in https://doc.arroyo.dev/developing/dev-setup#testing
2. add a cloud dev env (gitpod/codespace)
