AynSiddiqui opened a new pull request, #1477: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-go/pull/1477
### Rationale for this change A fresh `git clone` followed by `go test ./...` fails in `arrow/csv`, `parquet`, `parquet/file` and `parquet/pqarrow`, because their test data lives in the `arrow-testing` and `parquet-testing` submodules and the tests need `ARROW_TEST_DATA` / `PARQUET_TEST_DATA`. CONTRIBUTING.md doesn't mention this. Fixes #1476 ### What changes are included in this PR? A "Running the tests" section in CONTRIBUTING.md: clone with `--recurse-submodules` (or `git submodule update --init`), set the two env vars (as `ci/scripts/test.sh` does), then `go test ./...`. ### Are these changes tested? Docs only. On a fresh clone at 66722e30, those four packages fail without the submodules and pass after `git submodule update --init` with both env vars set. ### Are there any user-facing changes?
