Hi, First of all, thank you for all the work with the release management.
I ran in to a weird issue testing the RC1, running under Python 3.6.0 / Ubuntu 14.04.5, upgrading from a master build from February. Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 Traceback (most recent call last): Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 File "/opt/virtualenv/tictail/pipeline/bin/airflow", line 21, in <module> Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 from airflow import configuration Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 File "/opt/virtualenv/tictail/pipeline/lib/python3.6/site-packages/airflow/__init__.py", line 35, in <module> Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 from airflow import configuration as conf Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 File "/opt/virtualenv/tictail/pipeline/lib/python3.6/site-packages/airflow/configuration.py", line 106, in <module> Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 DEFAULT_CONFIG = f.read() Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 File "/opt/virtualenv/tictail/pipeline/lib/python3.6/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0] Jul 10 08:50:33 hostname supervisord: airflow-webserver-01 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 20770: ordinal not in range(128) Removing the ’ on https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/master/airflow/config_templates/default_airflow.cfg#L613 solved the issue for me, and digging a bit deeper it seems Airflow now requires setting LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 in the environment or similar to force Python to read the file as utf-8 and not ascii. (I think this was changed in to default to utf-8 in Python 3.7). I see 3 solutions for this 1. Document that Airflow need to run with LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 or similar. 2. Change the default config file to not contain non-ascii characters. 3. Always read the file as unicode regardless of the LC_ALL environment, by the encoding='utf-8’ parameter to open(). I think 3 is the best solution, and I can prepare a PR for that if necessary . I guess this counts as -1 (non-binding) All the best Carl Johan On 8 July 2018 at 22:02:33, Bolke de Bruin (bdbr...@gmail.com) wrote: Hey all, I have cut Airflow 1.10.0 RC1. This email is calling a vote on the release, which will last for 72 hours. Consider this my (binding) +1. Airflow 1.10.0 RC 1 is available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/airflow/1.10.0rc1/ <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/airflow/1.10.0rc1/> apache-airflow-1.10.0rc1+incubating-source.tar.gz is a source release that comes with INSTALL instructions. apache-airflow-1.10.0rc1+incubating-bin.tar.gz is the binary Python "sdist" release. Public keys are available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/airflow/ <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/airflow/> The amount of JIRAs fixed is over 700. Please have a look at the changelog. Please note that the version number excludes the `rcX` string as well as the "+incubating" string, so it's now simply 1.10.0. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release. Cheers, Bolke
