To get started you will need to follow below steps:

1. Open src/service_user_rsa_key.p8 file and place your private key in it
2. Open src/snowflake.py and update your private key path (line 11)
3. Open src/snowflake.py and update your snowflake connection details: accountname, region, database, warehouse and table name
4. Add an environment variable for your private key pass phrase. In bash terminal you can run

   export PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE=<your pass phrase>
   

Once the above setup is completed you should be good to run the test.

To install dependencies and run the test you can use the following commands:

To create a python virtual environment run:

python3 -m venv .venv
source ./.venv/bin/activate

To install dependencies run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To run your tests:

python3 -m unittest

To turn off virtual env run "deactivate" or close the terminal
