Hi, I'm occasionally trying to force the final task in a DAG by clicking on the task in the web UI and clicking 'Run' (with 'Force' and 'Ignore Dependencies' selected). The UI shows 'Sent <TaskInstance: ...> to the message queue, it should start any moment now'. Going back to that task and selecting 'Log' I see something like this:
[2016-06-15 20:11:44,172] {models.py:154} INFO - Filling up the DagBag from /home/airflow/workspace/verticadw/airflow/dags/etl_gsn_daily_kpi_email.py [2016-06-15 20:11:44,881] {base_hook.py:53} INFO - Using connection to: localhost No sign of an error but no sign of success. But if I look at the Celery Flower dashboard, I can see this resulted in a failure with result: AirflowException('Celery command failed',) If I 'Clear'|'Downstream' the task, the task succeeds. And the task run in the scheduled DAG succeeds. Example args for failed tasks: [u'airflow run etl_gsn_daily_kpi_email t_final_send_email 2016-06-14T10:00:00 --force --local -sd DAGS_FOLDER/etl_gsn_daily_kpi_email.py '] [u'airflow run etl_gsn_daily_kpi_email t_final_send_email 2016-06-14T10:00:00 -i --force --local -sd DAGS_FOLDER/etl_gsn_daily_kpi_email.py '] Example args for successful tasks: [u'airflow run etl_gsn_daily_kpi_email t_final_send_email 2016-06-14T10:00:00 --local -sd DAGS_FOLDER/etl_gsn_daily_kpi_email.py '] and the log: [2016-06-15 19:44:46,147] {models.py:1219} INFO - Executing <Task(PythonOperator): t_final_send_email> on 2016-06-14 10:00:00 [2016-06-15 19:44:51,979] {python_operator.py:67} INFO - Done. Returned value was: [Airflow] GSN Games Metrics 2016-06-14 sent to ('dobr...@gsngames.com',) I looked in the logs (airflow-flower.log, airflow-scheduler.log, airflow-webserver.log, and airflow-worker.log) but didn't find any clues. I'm running airflow v1.7.1.3, using CeleryExecutor backed by redis. Celery portion of airflow.cfg: [celery] celery_app_name = airflow.executors.celery_executor celeryd_concurrency = 16 worker_log_server_port = 8793 broker_url = redis://localhost celery_result_backend = redis://localhost flower_port = 5555 default_queue = default Any advice on debugging this? thanks, Dennis
