since pendulum inherits from datetime, i think the only thing that really breaks is string representation, though i could be wrong. apologies for providing us with a conundrum here. it was one of my first contributions if not the first. i took a look and i remember what was going on. at the time, prev_execution_date and next_execution_date returned native datetime despite docs saying pendulum and execution_date being pendulum. So when I added prev_execution_date_success etc, I kept the behavior and documentation consistent with that of prev_execution_date. Why I didn't just wrap it in pendulum.instance, no clue. Maybe I thought that under the hood execution_date was supposed to be always pendulum and this was merely a bug that would be fixed. In PR https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/5654, this was partially fixed. But the _success attributes were not updated. So while now prev_execution_date returns pendulum, the _success versions do not. If this can be fixed for prev_execution_date, as it was in https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/5654, I suppose it can be fixed for prev_execution_date_success. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
