Jarek Potiuk created AIRFLOW-6010: ------------------------------------- Summary: The "from airflow import settings" is used far too often Key: AIRFLOW-6010 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-6010 Project: Apache Airflow Issue Type: Sub-task Components: core Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Jarek Potiuk
In many places "from airflow import settings" is used only to get the latest set value of one or few settings or when single method from settings is going to be called. Settings loads a lot of dependencies on its own and having it imported at the top of the file often causes many transitive/implicit dependencies which might cause circular imports. Therefore in many places the settings should be imported as local imports. This causes lasy-loading of settings in case of tests but also it makes sure that even if the values in settings are overridden by some other initialisation, we will always use latest version of settings. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
