-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.10.1
> Need to Check Validity of Cron Expression When Process DAG File/Zip File
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AIRFLOW-2855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2855
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DAG
> Reporter: Xiaodong DENG
> Assignee: Xiaodong DENG
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.10.1
>
>
> *schedule_interval* of DAGs can either be *timedelta* or a *Cron expression*.
> When it's a Cron expression, there is no mechanism to check its validity at
> this moment. If there is anything wrong with the Cron expression itself, it
> will cause issues when methods _*following_schedule(**)*_ and
> _*previous_schedule()*_ are invoked (will affect scheduling). However,
> exceptions will only be written into logs. From Web UI, it’s hard for users
> to identify this issue & the source while no new task can be initiated
> (especially for users who’re not very familiar with Cron).
> It may be good to show error messages in web UI when a DAG's Cron expression
> (as schedule_interval) can not be parsed by *croniter* properly.
