- NAME
- 
- gcloud composer environments run - run an Airflow sub-command remotely in a Cloud Composer environment
 
- SYNOPSIS
- 
- 
gcloud composer environments run(ENVIRONMENT:--location=LOCATION)SUBCOMMAND[SUBCOMMAND_NESTED] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …] [--CMD_ARGS…]
 
- 
- DESCRIPTION
- 
Executes an Airflow CLI sub-command remotely in an environment. If the
sub-command takes flags, separate the environment name from the sub-command and
its flags with ``--´´. This command waits for the sub-command to
complete; its exit code will match the sub-command's exit code.
Note: Airflow CLI sub-command syntax differs between Airflow 1 and Airflow 2. Refer to the Airflow CLI reference documentation for more details. 
- EXAMPLES
- 
The following command in environments with Airflow 2:
gcloud composer environments run myenv dags trigger -- some_dag --run_id=foo is equivalent to running the following command from a shell inside the my-environmentenvironment:airflow dags trigger --run_id=foo some_dag The same command, but for environments with Airflow 1.10.14+: gcloud composer environments run myenv trigger_dag -- some_dag --run_id=foo is equivalent to running the following command from a shell inside the my-environmentenvironment:airflow trigger_dag some_dag --run_id=foo The following command (for environments with Airflow 1.10.14+): gcloud composer environments run myenv dags list is equivalent to running the following command from a shell inside the my-environmentenvironment:airflow dags list
