[get_context] Slow in retrieving Data context on initializing gx.get_context

GX Core Support
1

For context, I wasn’t able to perform a simple gx.get_context() as it wasn’t able to find the initialized great_expectations.yaml file as I accidentally deleted it and even when i restore it, it can’t detect the changes I have made on the new great_expectations.yaml.

The resolution is to point the Data Context to the file path i’m working on so it looks like this:

import os
import great_expectations as gx

context = gx.get_context(context_root_dir = os.getcwd())

In this step while fetching get_context, it is taking a long time > 5mins on my local machine.

My great_expectations.yaml looks something like this:

      }
    }
  },

}

Is this normal if it is trying to access S3?
