The issue: Runtime errors during DAG parsing in GitDagBundle were being caught but not persisted to the import_error table, causing DAGs with errors to silently disappear from the UI instead of appearing under Import Errors. This was inconsistent with LocalDagBundle behavior. Root cause: When DAG serialization failed in _serialize_dags(), the error was stored using dag.fileloc (absolute path) instead of dag.relative_fileloc (relative path). However, DagBag stores parse-time errors with relative paths, and the update_dag_parsing_results_in_db() function expects all import errors to be keyed by (bundle_name, relative_path) tuples. This path inconsistency caused serialization errors to have absolute paths that couldn't be properly matched to their bundle context, resulting in failed DB inserts and silent failures. Changes: 1. Updated _serialize_dags() to use dag.relative_fileloc instead of dag.fileloc when storing serialization errors, ensuring consistency with parse-time errors 2. Added test_serialization_errors_use_relative_paths() to verify serialization errors use relative paths across bundle types 3. Added test_import_errors_persisted_with_relative_paths() to validate end-to-end error persistence for bundle-backed DAGs This fix ensures that all DAG errors (parse-time and serialization-time) are consistently tracked and displayed in the UI, regardless of bundle type (Git, Local, S3, GCS, etc.). Fixes: #<issue_number>
…rflow 3.0+ Problem: In Airflow 3.0+, when using multiple executors with comma-separated config (e.g., executor='CeleryExecutor,KubernetesExecutor'), tasks were not being routed to the correct executor based on their queue parameter. All tasks were being sent to the first (default) executor regardless of their queue. For example, tasks with queue='kubernetes' were executed by CeleryExecutor instead of being routed to KubernetesExecutor. Root Cause: The scheduler's _try_to_load_executor() method only checked for explicitly set ti.executor values but did not consider the task's queue parameter for routing decisions. This differed from Airflow 2.x hybrid executors like CeleryKubernetesExecutor which supported queue-based routing. Solution: 1. Enhanced _try_to_load_executor() in scheduler_job_runner.py to check if a task's queue matches any executor's kubernetes_queue configuration before falling back to the default executor. 2. Modified KubernetesExecutor.__init__() to read kubernetes_queue from config [kubernetes_executor] section (default: 'kubernetes'). 3. Added kubernetes_queue configuration option to: - airflow/config_templates/provider_config_fallback_defaults.cfg - providers/cncf/kubernetes/get_provider_info.py 4. Added comprehensive test test_try_to_load_executor_queue_based_routing() to verify queue-based routing works correctly. This fix restores the queue-based routing behavior from Airflow 2.x hybrid executors (CeleryKubernetesExecutor, LocalKubernetesExecutor) to work with Airflow 3.0's true multi-executor architecture. Testing: - Tasks with queue='kubernetes' are routed to KubernetesExecutor - Tasks with other queues use the default CeleryExecutor - Existing explicit executor assignments still work (backward compatible) - Multi-team executor selection is not affected Fixes #<issue-number>

Problem Summary
In Apache Airflow 3.0.6+, when configuring multiple executors concurrently using a comma-separated executor list (for example CeleryExecutor,KubernetesExecutor), task routing based on the queue parameter does not work as expected.
Observed Behavior
All tasks are executed by the first (default) executor
Tasks with queue='kubernetes' still run on:
executor=CeleryExecutor(parallelism=32)
No Kubernetes pods are created
Expected Behavior
Tasks without an explicit queue → CeleryExecutor
Tasks with queue='kubernetes' → KubernetesExecutor
This behavior differs from Airflow 2.x hybrid executors (e.g. CeleryKubernetesExecutor), which correctly supported queue-based routing via kubernetes_queue.
Root Cause
The scheduler’s executor selection logic in:
_try_to_load_executor()
only checks:
Explicit ti.executor assignments
It does not consider:
The task’s queue parameter
Executor-specific queue mappings (e.g. Kubernetes queues)
As a result, when multiple executors are configured, all tasks fall back to the default executor, regardless of their queue.
Solution Overview
1️⃣ Enhanced Executor Selection Logic
If ti.executor is explicitly set → use it (unchanged behavior)
Otherwise:
Match the task’s queue against executor-specific queue configurations
Route the task to the matching executor before falling back to the default executor
This preserves backward compatibility and aligns behavior with documented expectations.
2️⃣ KubernetesExecutor Queue Configuration
Introduced support for kubernetes_queue in the [[kubernetes_executor]] config section
Default value:
kubernetes_queue = ["kubernetes"]
This mirrors the queue-based routing model used in Airflow 2.x hybrid executors.
3️⃣ Configuration Template & Documentation Updates
Added kubernetes_queue to:
Configuration templates
Provider documentation
Ensures discoverability and correct usage
4️⃣ Comprehensive Test Coverage
Added tests to verify:
✅ Tasks with queue='kubernetes' route to KubernetesExecutor
✅ Tasks with other queues use the default CeleryExecutor
✅ Explicit executor assignments continue to work
✅ Multi-executor behavior remains unchanged
✅ No regressions or breaking changes
Verification Results
✅ Kubernetes-queued tasks create Kubernetes pods
✅ Celery tasks continue to execute via CeleryExecutor
✅ Explicit executor overrides remain respected
✅ Backward compatible and safe for existing deployments
Migration Impact
Before (Airflow 3.0.6+)
Queue-based routing ignored
All tasks run on default executor
After (Airflow 3.0+ with this fix)
Queue-based routing works as documented
Behavior consistent with Airflow 2.x hybrid executors
No configuration changes required for existing users
Conclusion
This fix restores expected and documented behavior for multi-executor deployments in Airflow 3.x, enabling reliable queue-based task routing while maintaining backward compatibility and minimal risk.
