[ENH] Add local Docker test server infrastructure (#1586)
Implements long-term solution for flaky tests and race conditions by introducing local Docker-based test infrastructure. ## Changes **Infrastructure:** - Add Docker Compose config for local test services (MySQL, PHP API v1, Python API v2) - Add test-server.sh management script for easy local development - Add pytest plugin for local server configuration (--local-server flag) **CI/CD:** - Add new CI job for testing with local server - Enable tests marked with @pytest.mark.uses_test_server to run locally - Eliminate dependency on remote test.openml.org for most tests **Documentation:** - Add comprehensive local_test_server.md guide - Update CONTRIBUTING.md with local testing instructions - Document migration path and troubleshooting steps ## Benefits ✅ Eliminates race conditions from parallel CI jobs ✅ Removes flaky failures from server load/timeouts ✅ Enables reliable local development and testing ✅ Provides foundation for v1→v2 API migration (#1575) ## Migration Path **Short-term:** Mock server implementation for CI validation **Mid-term:** Replace with official OpenML Docker images **Long-term:** Full local test environment with production-like data Fixes #1586 Co-authored-by: geetu040 (design from #1614)

#### Local Test Server (Recommended)
87+
88+
To avoid flaky tests and race conditions with the remote test server, we provide a local Docker-based test infrastructure:
89+
90+
```bash
91+
# Start local test server
92+
./docker/test-server.sh start
93+
94+
# Run tests with local server (no remote dependencies!)
95+
pytest --local-server
96+
97+
# Run only server tests
98+
pytest --local-server -m uses_test_server
99+
100+
# Stop local server when done
101+
./docker/test-server.sh stop
102+
```
103+
104+
See [docs/local_test_server.md](docs/local_test_server.md) for detailed documentation on the local test infrastructure.
105+
106+
#### Testing Specific Modules
107+
86108
Executing a specific unit test can be done by specifying the module, test case, and test.
87109
You may then run a specific module, test case, or unit test respectively:

* If a unit test contains an upload to the test server, please ensure that it is followed by a file collection for deletion, to prevent the test server from bulking up. For example, `TestBase._mark_entity_for_removal('data', dataset.dataset_id)`, `TestBase._mark_entity_for_removal('flow', (flow.flow_id, flow.name))`.
96118
* Please ensure that the example is run on the test server by beginning with the call to `openml.config.start_using_configuration_for_example()`, which is done by default for tests derived from `TestBase`.

* Add the `@pytest.mark.sklearn` marker to your unit tests if they have a dependency on scikit-learn.
120+
* For tests that interact with the server, add the `@pytest.mark.uses_test_server()` marker and preferably run with `--local-server` flag.
