FileSensor¶

Use the FileSensor to detect files appearing in your local filesystem. You need to have connection defined to use it (pass connection id via fs_conn_id). Default connection is fs_default.

airflow/example_dags/example_sensors.py[source]

t6 = FileSensor(task_id="wait_for_file", filepath="/tmp/temporary_file_for_testing")

Also for this job you can use sensor in the deferrable mode:

airflow/example_dags/example_sensors.py[source]

t7 = FileSensor(
    task_id="wait_for_file_async", filepath="/tmp/temporary_file_for_testing", deferrable=True
)
