Airflow kubernetesPorOperator example fails to run

Question

Trying to run sample kubernetesPodOperator retrieves:

[2020-05-25 20:00:40,475] {{init.py:51}} INFO - Using executor LocalExecutor
[2020-05-25 20:00:40,475] {{dagbag.py:396}} INFO - Filling up the DagBag from /usr/local/airflow/dags/kubernetes_example.py

This is the code I am using:

from airflow import DAG
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from airflow.contrib.operators.kubernetes_pod_operator import KubernetesPodOperator
from airflow.operators.dummy_operator import DummyOperator
from airflow.utils.dates import days_ago



default_args = {
    'owner': 'airflow',
    'depends_on_past': False,
    'start_date': days_ago(1),
    'email': ['[email protected]'],
    'email_on_failure': False,
    'email_on_retry': False,
    'retries': 1,
    'retry_delay': timedelta(minutes=60)
}

dag = DAG(
    'kubernetes_example', default_args=default_args, schedule_interval=timedelta(minutes=60))


start = DummyOperator(task_id='run_this_first', dag=dag)

passing = KubernetesPodOperator(namespace='airflow',
                          image="python:3.6.10",
                          cmds=["Python","-c"],
                          arguments=["print('hello world')"],
                          labels={"foo": "bar"},
                          name="passing-test",
                          task_id="passing-task",
                          env_vars={'EXAMPLE_VAR': '/example/value'},
                          in_cluster=True,
                          get_logs=True,
                          dag=dag
                          )

failing = KubernetesPodOperator(namespace='airflow',
                          image="ubuntu:18.04",
                          cmds=["Python","-c"],
                          arguments=["print('hello world')"],
                          labels={"foo": "bar"},
                          name="fail",
                          task_id="failing-task",
                          get_logs=True,
                          dag=dag
                          )

passing.set_upstream(start)
failing.set_upstream(start)

I just took it from sample executor. Did someone stumble upon this issue?

Thanks!

can you post your code? I am pretty sure you DAG definition is wrong, missing the dag_id — mucio

You need to have a name (the dag_id for your dag).

dag = DAG(
    dag_id='kubernetes_example', 
    default_args=default_args, 
    schedule_interval=timedelta(minutes=60)
)

Also your task_id should have _ not - and be: task_id="failing_task"
