"Inline" style source e2e tests

Compared with prior source tests ( e2e_test/source ), tests in this directory are expected to be easy to run locally and easy to write.

See the connector development guide for more information about how to set up the test environment, run tests, and write tests.

Serial Tests

Tests ending with .slt.serial can only be run in serial, e.g., it contains RECOVER statement which will break other connections, or it has some special system commands.

Other tests can be run in parallel.

bash

# run all parallel tests
risedev slt './e2e_test/source_inline/**/*.slt' -j16
# run all serial tests
risedev slt './e2e_test/source_inline/**/*.slt.serial'

Install Dependencies

Some additional tools are needed to run the system commands in tests.

rpk: Redpanda (Kafka) CLI toolbox. https://docs.redpanda.com/current/get-started/rpk-install/
zx: A tool for writing better scripts. npm install -g zx

Python Dependencies

There are also some system commands calling scripts written in Python.

You have two options:

Recommended: Install the package manager uv, which will automatically manage the dependencies for you, requiring no further action.
Manually install the dependencies listed in e2e_test/requirements.txt in your system Python environment or a virtual environment.
