I have defined a DAG in a file called tutorial_2.py (actually a copy of the tutorial.py provided in the airflow tutorial, except with the dag_id changed to tutorial_2).
When I look inside my default, unmodified airflow.cfg (located in ~/airflow), I see that dags_folder is set to /home/alex/airflow/dags.
I do cd /home/alex/airflow; mkdir dags; cd dags; cp [...]/tutorial_2.py tutorial_2.py. Now I have a dags folder matching the path set in airflow.cfg , containing the tutorial_2.py file I created earlier.
However, when I run airflow list_dags, I only get the names corresponding with the default, tutorial DAGs.
I would like to have tutorial_2 show up in my DAG list, so that I can begin interacting with. Neither python tutorial_2.py nor airflow resetdb have caused it to appear in the list.
How do I remedy this?
I think the reason for this is because you haven't exported AIRFLOW_HOME.
Try doing:
AIRFLOW_HOME="/home/alex/airflow/dags" airflow list_dags
If that's not working then do two steps:
export AIRFLOW_HOME="/home/alex/airflow/dags"
airflow list_dags
I believe this should work. Give it a go?
