Hello! 👋 When unit testing asset pipelines in a CI pipeline (e.g. GitHub/GitLab) is it possible to validate the asset pipelines' execution plan without materialising the asset, like a job with the
dagster.core.execution.api.create_execution_plan
function? Reason being some assets i.e. data from APIs, can't be materialised outside production.

hi @Alastair James! what aspects of the execution plan are you interested in validating? or more generally, what about the job would you like to unit test? One option would be to use the resource system to help you mock out whatever data you need to pull from APIs to make those assets testable
