It seems to be related to this task:

Copy code

@task(
    max_retries=3,
    retry_delay=datetime.timedelta(minutes=5),
    cache_for=datetime.timedelta(days=1),
    cache_validator=cache_validators.duration_only
)
def sfdc_download_data(
        url: typing.Union[str, Parameter]
) -> typing.Union[str, Result]:
    ...

but there's no

text

parameter in this Task ... where is the task_runner getting this cached_input from?

Were you ever using

text

in relation to this task? To me it looks like the cache duration has not passed so the cached inputs are retrieved from cloud but then the inputs to your task runner no longer have that text attribute

Not that task, but another task (with a different function name) in the same Flow (which is also attempting to cache) does have a

text

and

url

parameter. My assumption was that if it detected a change in the task inputs, it would invalidate the cache and recompute it. Or in this case, if it failed to load the previous cache, it would invalidate and retry. How does one force an invalidation of the cache without waiting for the original duration setting?

The only way to delete this cached input would be to delete the cached state from Cloud or wait out the duration. I see room for improvement here because your expected behavior makes a lot of sense. i.e. if the cached inputs are different then it should not attempt to use the cache because they would not match
