--------------------------------------
Summary: Recognizing non-dag files as DAGs, then reporting
non-existing errors
Key: AIRFLOW-1715
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1715
Project: Apache Airflow
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: Airflow 1.8
Environment: Ubuntu 16.04
Reporter: Zelko Nikolic
In our DAG folder there's a few helper python files and tools. Airflow wrongly
recognizes some of those files as DAGs and then reports errors about them,
trying to interpret them as DAGs.
This is completely wrong. There should be a certain signature ID at the top of
the file that distinguishes DAG files from other python files. But there's
none. So Airflow arbitrary decides which files are DAGs and which aren't.
Please introduce a unique signature (embedded in a comment at the top of a
file), like many other file formats have, because I'm sick of trying to make
changes and workerounds to our helper python files so that they are not
recognized as DAGs.
