Dagster unable to import module


I'm new to Dagster and I'm struggling importing my module into the Dagster code. This is my project structure.

.
├── pyproject.toml
├── README.md
├── setup.cfg
├── setup.py
├── my-project
│   ├── assets.py
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── __pycache__
│   │   ├── assets.cpython-311.pyc
│   │   └── __init__.cpython-311.pyc
│   ├── scaled_dataset.csv
│   └── utilities
│       ├── dataset.py
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── nn.py
│       ├── plotting.py
│       ├── testing.py
│       └── training.py

In my __init__.py of my-poject I have set

from dagster import Definitions, load_assets_from_modules

from . import assets, utilities

all_assets = load_assets_from_modules([assets, utilities])

defs = Definitions(
    assets=all_assets,
)

And in my code in assets.py I have (for example):

from utilities.plotting import plot_dataset

However, when I run `dagster dev', it returns:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utilities'

Stack Trace:

    from utilities.plotting import plot_dataset

What am I missing? Thanks


Solution

  • I would try this:

    First, rename my-project to my_project. Next, install your project as editable from the root folder: pip install -e .

    And then update your imports so they look like this:

    from my_project.utilities.plotting import plot_dataset
