AIP-84 Add multisort to dags list request #46383 by prasad-madine · Pull Request #47440 · apache/airflow

prasad-madine · 2025-03-06T07:57:59Z

Description:

In the current UI, the DAGs list is sorted by default to display DAGs with the most recent DAG run first, achieved by sorting with -last_dag_run_start_date. However, this approach leads to an unintended consequence: DAGs that have never been run are displayed in reverse alphabetical order, which can be counterintuitive for users. Additionally, reversing the order of last_dag_run_start_date also affects the alphabetical order of DAGs.

backend part of: #46383

Add support for multi sort in the API

Congratulations on your first Pull Request and welcome to the Apache Airflow community! If you have any issues or are unsure about any anything please check our Contributors' Guide (https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/README.rst)
Here are some useful points:

Pay attention to the quality of your code (ruff, mypy and type annotations). Our pre-commits will help you with that.
In case of a new feature add useful documentation (in docstrings or in docs/ directory). Adding a new operator? Check this short guide Consider adding an example DAG that shows how users should use it.
Consider using Breeze environment for testing locally, it's a heavy docker but it ships with a working Airflow and a lot of integrations.
Be patient and persistent. It might take some time to get a review or get the final approval from Committers.

Nice, thanks for the pull request 🎉

I think we need:

To allow multi sorting on the get dags endpoint to solve the related issue.
Add tests for the get dags endpoint with multiple sort in the query and assert that it is doing what we expect.

pierrejeambrun

Nice, we need some tests too.

pierrejeambrun · 2025-03-07T12:23:00Z

Don't hesitate to resolve comments that you have addressed. This will make the review easier, thanks.

prasad-madine · 2025-03-07T12:26:50Z

Nice, we need some tests too.

Yes, currently working on that, will update the PR once it is done.
Thankyou

prasad-madine · 2025-03-07T12:27:25Z

Don't hesitate to resolve comments that you have addressed. This will make the review easier, thanks.

I thought to do it after writing test cases.

prasad-madine · 2025-03-13T07:04:26Z

Hi @pierrejeambrun , I have added few tests, COuld you please review it and let me know if any additional things to be required.
Thankyou

Thanks for the PR. Looking good overall. One couple of comments only.

CI need fixing (tests, static check etc.), can you also rebase the branch solve conflicts.

@pierrejeambrun could you please review the PR, If any changes needs to be done, I'll address those.
Thankyou

pierrejeambrun

Thanks.

A few comments. Also the CI needs to be fixed:

You can install pre-commits to run static checks locally. https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/08_static_code_checks.rst
You can start test locally with a local virtualenv and pytest or with breeze. All of that is described in the contribution docs (https://github.com/apache/airflow/tree/main/contributing-docs, https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/07_local_virtualenv.rst
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/breeze/doc/README.rst)

 self.to_replace = to_replace

 def to_orm(self, select: Select) -> Select:
+ MAX_SORT_PARAMS = 5


I think the limit should be made greater.
We already have table with more than 5 columns and the UI could reach that pretty soon.
Going for 10 or 20 shouldn't hurt. (all our different db should be able to handle much more anyway)

pierrejeambrun · 2025-03-31T08:31:29Z

+ def inner(order_by: list[str] | str | None = Query(default)) -> SortParam:
+ if order_by is None:
+ order_by = [self.get_primary_key_string()]
+ elif isinstance(order_by, str):
+ order_by = [order_by]
+ return self.set_value(order_by)


I'm not sure it's exactly equivalent. If there is no order_by query param specified, we shouldn't add any by default and let the query default order operate:
order_by = None => don't update the query at all and let the default ordering of the query operate.
order_by = [] or [""] -> fill with [primary_key_string] (or raise validation error)

pierrejeambrun · 2025-03-31T08:34:51Z

+ ({"order_by": ["last_run_state", "dag_display_name"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG1_ID, DAG3_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["-last_run_state", "dag_display_name"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG3_ID, DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["last_run_start_date", "dag_display_name"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG1_ID, DAG3_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["-last_run_start_date", "dag_display_name"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG3_ID, DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["-dag_id", "dag_display_name"]}, 2, [DAG2_ID, DAG1_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["dag_id", "dag_display_name"]}, 2, [DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["dag_display_name", "dag_id"]}, 2, [DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["last_run_state"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG1_ID, DAG3_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["-last_run_state"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG3_ID, DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["last_run_start_date"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG1_ID, DAG3_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["-last_run_start_date"], "only_active": False}, 3, [DAG3_ID, DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID])
+
+ ({"order_by": ["dag_display_name", "-next_dagrun"]}, 2, [DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["last_run_state", "-dag_display_name", "dag_id"]}, 2, [DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["-last_run_start_date", "dag_display_name", "next_dagrun", "dag_id"]}, 2, [ DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),
+ ({"order_by": ["dag_display_name", "-last_run_state", "next_dagrun", "dag_id", "last_run_start_date"]}, 2, [DAG1_ID, DAG2_ID]),


We still need two tests with:
({"order_by": ["criteria_1", "criteria_2"]}, 2, [id1, id2, id3]), ({"order_by": ["criteria_1", "-criteria_2"]}, 2, [different sequence of id, proving that criteria_2 is being considerd]),

pierrejeambrun · 2025-03-31T08:35:51Z

+ elif isinstance(order_by, str):
+ order_by = [order_by]


This shouldn't be possible. FastAPI validation will prevent such wrong input and will do what's necessary to either get a list[str] or fail with a 422 validation error if not possible.

pierrejeambrun · 2025-03-31T08:39:55Z

- def inner(order_by: str = default or self.get_primary_key_string()) -> SortParam:
- return self.set_value(self.get_primary_key_string() if order_by == "" else order_by)
+ def dynamic_depends(self, default: list[str] | None = None) -> Callable:
+ def inner(order_by: list[str] | str | None = Query(default)) -> SortParam:


Suggested change
definner(order_by: list[str] |str|None=Query(default)) ->SortParam:
definner(order_by: list[str] |None=Query(default)) ->SortParam:

@prasad-madine are you able to move forward, or do you need help ?

@prasad-madine are you able to move forward, or do you need help ?

@pierrejeambrun I've made changes, but facing issues in setup with latest code, I need to test it. I've also tried to setup application again. Need some help.

pierrejeambrun · 2025-04-14T09:04:22Z

Make sure your images have been rebuilt to be up to date. (When you start breeze you should see a prompt asking if you want to rebuild or not, you need to answer yes to both of the prompt).

You can try in incognito mode in your browser. You might have some old cached version of the localstorage or cookies creating some problem.

Otherwise you can stop breeze then run breeze down and start breeze again.

If the issue persists you can try breeze cleanup.

I've also tried incognito and also tried removing networks, volumes and docker images and rebuilt the application again, but still facing the same issue.

pierrejeambrun · 2025-04-14T09:33:15Z

Something must be wrong, you can try on main. Be sure to rebuild images.

It looks like the connection is refused, the api-server is not reached. Also you can try with --dev-mode or without this flag.

pierrejeambrun · 2025-04-14T09:34:13Z

That might be wrong on the auth manager asset compilation side for --dev-mode

pierrejeambrun · 2025-04-16T13:11:58Z

@prasad-madine did you manage to solve your local setup issue ?

pierrejeambrun · 2025-05-15T14:41:26Z

@prasad-madine Any progress on that?

prasad-madine · 2025-05-15T14:56:29Z

No @pierrejeambrun , still the issue with application setup is not resolved.

pierrejeambrun · 2025-05-16T10:18:45Z

This does not happen on latest main. You can rebuild the images and start breeze again, you should be able to access the UI. Breeze documentation can be found here https://github.com/apache/airflow/tree/main/dev/breeze/doc.

You can run a breeze down then breeze cleanup to start over. That should definitely work on main branch. Also check that you don't have anything interfering in your files folder (env variables, entry point script etc...), default setup should work.
