run_backend_tests is compiling typescript

See original GitHub issue

run_backend_tests.sh is building all of Oppia’s typescript files before running the backend tests, which should not be necessary given that backend code is python-only. This significantly slows down testing time (factor of ~2 for each run).

To Reproduce run bash scripts/run_backend_tests.sh

Observed behavior All of Oppia is being compiled in typescript before any backend tests begin.

Expected behavior Backend tests begin immediately.

Additional context The following commits seems to have introduced the extra steps:

I chatted with @ankita240796 about this. I think we shouldn’t do mocking (because that causes skew), but should instead fix the backend tests to not rely on typescript/webpack compilation, and make that a rule for backend tests in general. If any tests are running based on the compiled files, we should change them to run based on the source files instead.

Hmm that’s strange. I have submitted #7528 to revert the changes.
