Summary: DagBag stops reading DAGs and zipfiles if it does not encounter 'DAG' or 'airflow' in content Key: AIRFLOW-2613 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2613 Project: Apache Airflow Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Trevor Edwards Due to [https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/0f4d681f6f6e15acd1399dede146e75cb688d536/airflow/models.py#L298] and [https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/0f4d681f6f6e15acd1399dede146e75cb688d536/airflow/models.py#L332,] Airflow will refuse to gather DAGs from a file which does not include the strings 'DAG' or 'airflow'. This can be problematic if you are using inheritance with your DAGs and thus don't import DAG in a file that generates a DAG. Worse, it stops scanning a zipfile altogether if any top-level files is missing the string. I'm not sure why these checks were included as it does not seem to provide any strong guarantee that the file is a DAG, so I suggest removing these odd checks. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
