Airflow DAG task not found after updating adding a task

Question

I'm having trouble updating a dag file. Dag still have an old version of my dag file. I added a task but it seems not updated when I check the log and UI (DAG->Code).

I have very simple tasks. I of course checked the dag directory path in airflow.cfg and restarted airflow webserver/scheduler. I have no issue running it (but with the old dag file).

Answer 1

Looks like a bug of airflow. A temp solution is to delete the task instances from airflow db by

delete from task_instance where dag_id=<dag_name> and task_id=<deleted_task_name>';

This should be simpler and less impactful than the resetdb route which would delete everything including variables and connections set before.
