@kapa.ai, how can I run the source-snowflake connector locally? this is a java based. Im attempting to run discovery through airbyte-ci if possible

To run the source-snowflake connector locally (which is Java-based), you should follow these general steps: 1. Build the Connector: After making any changes or if you want to use a local version, build the connector using Gradle. For example:

./gradlew :airbyte-integrations:connectors:source-snowflake:build

This will build the connector and create a Docker image, typically tagged with

dev

by default. 2. Run Airbyte Locally: Start Airbyte locally using Docker Compose:

docker compose up

This will bring up the Airbyte UI at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000). 3. Add the Custom Connector in the UI: In the Airbyte UI, go to Settings → Sources → + New connector. Here, you can add your custom-built connector by specifying the local Docker image you just built. You do not need to publish the image to a registry; as long as it exists locally, Airbyte can use it. 4. Configure and Test: Once added, you can create a new source using your custom Snowflake connector, enter the required configuration (like credentials and connection details), and test the connection and sync as you would with any other connector. This process is confirmed by community discussions and documentation on local connector development and testing in Airbyte. The same approach applies to any Java-based connector, including source-snowflake. For more details on local connector development, see the official documentation: [Developing Connectors Locally](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/connector-development/local-connector-development) and [Forum discussion on testing local connectors](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1812)<source>https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/connector-development/local-connector-development&lt;/source&gt;&lt;source&gt;https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1812&lt;/source>. If you need to run Gradle tasks, you can also use the

poe

tool for convenience, as described in the documentation: > From within a connector directory you can run

poe gradle tasks

for a list of Gradle tasks that apply to the connector and

poe gradle TASK_NAME

to run a given Gradle task for that connector.
