Fokko Driesprong reassigned AIRFLOW-3823: ----------------------------------------- Assignee: Bas Harenslak > Exclude BranchPythonOperator branch's downstream tasks from the tasks to skip > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AIRFLOW-3823 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-3823 > Project: Apache Airflow > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Bas Harenslak > Assignee: Bas Harenslak > Priority: Major > Attachments: Greenshot 2019-02-07 19.48.16.png, Greenshot 2019-02-07 > 20.48.54.png, image-2019-02-07-16-45-07-900.png, > image-2019-02-07-16-50-15-163.png > > > I encountered this edge case where one of the BranchPythonOperator's options > was a downstream task of another option. This resulted in the task being > skipped, even though it was eligible to be run as normal (depending on your > definition of "normal" - either prefer to run all downstream tasks of the > chosen task, or either prefer to skip any task that is not chosen). For > example: > !image-2019-02-07-16-45-07-900.png! > t4 is an option of the branch task, but also a downstream task of t1. IMO it > shouldn't be skipped. > I see several options: > # hack around by adding dummy task between branch - t4 and set > TriggerRule.ONE_SUCCESS for t4 (and educate people to do this....) > # throw exception and don't allow this > # when creating the list of tasks to skip, exclude tasks that are downstream > tasks of the selected task > I opt for option #3 and will create PR for this, resulting in: > !image-2019-02-07-16-50-15-163.png! > Branch task completed successfully and selected t1, but since t4 is one of > its downstream tasks, it wasn't skipped. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
