Airflow is great, right up to the point where you try to feed date/time-based arguments to your operators (a crucial bit of functionality not covered in the linked article). The built-in API for that is a random assortment of odd macros and poorly designed python snippets, with scoping that never quite makes sense, and patchy and sometimes misleading documentation.
- diogofranco 6y agoAgree that this is a bit confusing. I ended up writing a small guide on how date arguments work in airflow (https://diogoalexandrefranco.github.io/about-airflow-date-macros-ds-and-execution-date/ https://diogoalexandrefranco.github.io/about-airflow-date-ma...) and I always end up consulting it myself, as I just can't seem to memorize any of these macros.
