Hi, The problem is that a web server isn't the right place to run an airflow task. From the context of the web request scope we have to somehow pass a message to an external executor to run the task. For LocalExecutor to work the web server would have to start a LocalExecutor as a sub process and that doesn't sound like a great idea...
