Creative-Ataraxia opened a new pull request, #52928:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/52928
> ...from the env '_AIRFLOW_DB_MIGRATE=true' but no commands passed in
because the user's sole intention is to migrate db
### What this PR is
This PR improves the behavior of `airflow/scripts/docker/entrypoint_prod.sh`
when `_AIRFLOW_DB_MIGRATE=true` is set but no command is explicitly passed to
the container. It adds a conditional check that **exits cleanly** if:
* `_AIRFLOW_DB_MIGRATE` flag is set
* No `command:` is passed via Docker Compose (i.e., `$# -eq 0`)
Previously, the script would still fall through to `exec "airflow" "${@}"`,
which results in a CLI error due to missing arguments (`GROUP_OR_COMMAND`), and
exits with code 2.
### Why is the PR needed
Currently, when using `docker-compose.yml` to define an `airflow-init`
container for bootstrapping (for example, running DB migration), the flag
`_AIRFLOW_DB_MIGRATE=true` already run `migrate_db`; Even when db migration
succeeds, the container still exits with an error if no commands are passed to
the service:
```
airflow command error: the following arguments are required: GROUP_OR_COMMAND
```
This creates confusion, especially in CI environments or startup
orchestration, where the exit code may be interpreted as a failed container,
even though db migration succeed.
This PR prevents that misleading failure by exiting gracefully when the
user's intent is only to "run migration and exit."
### How to reproduce the issue
Create a Compose service like this:
```yaml
airflow-init:
image: apache/airflow:3.0.2
environment:
_AIRFLOW_DB_MIGRATE: "true"
# no command specified
```
Run:
```bash
docker compose up airflow-init
```
**Observed (before):**
* DB migration runs successfully
* Then: `airflow command error: the following arguments are required:
GROUP_OR_COMMAND`
* Container exits with code 2
**Expected (after this PR):**
* DB migration runs
* No command passed → interpreted as init-only use case
* Script logs an info message and exits cleanly with status 0
