What would be the correct syntax to naming my tasks? The

name=""

suggested in the documentation isn't working for the format I have my tasks in

campaign_details_dbt_run = dbt_task(name="Campaign Details", command='dbt run -m campaign_details')

The name should go in the init so

dbt_task = DbtShellTask(name="...")

there's no way to name the other tasks? Because I use the same DbtShellTask() for different commands that I want to name

You can template the

task run name

based on inputs like this ? But for the actual task name, I don’t think so. You could have DbtShellTask in your flow code like this:

with Flow(...) as flow:
    a = DbtShellTask(name=...)(cmd=...)
    b = DbtShellTask(name=...)(cmd=...)

hmm but I don't want to have to keep reusing DbtShellTask since it has a my kwargs and some other info that would be repetitive

You can do

a = DbtShellTask(all_the_kwargs)
b = a
b.name = xxx
c = a
c.name = xxx

with Flow(...) as flow:
    a = DbtShellTask(name=...)(cmd=...)
    b = DbtShellTask(name=...)(cmd=...)

or maybe

dict_of_kwargs = {...}
a = DbtShellTask(**dict_of_kwargs)
dict_of_kwargs['name'] = xxx
b = DbtShellTask(**dict_of_kwargs)

with Flow(...) as flow:
    a = a(cmd=...)
    b = b(cmd=...)

Another option here is:

campaign_details_dbt_run = dbt_task(task_args={"name": "Campaign Details"}, command='dbt run -m campaign_details')

the special keyword

task_args

allows you to override init kwargs (which includes

name

) when you call the task

cool, thanks!
