Unable to export custom values

[leeadh]

Description

Im trying to export custom values

export_custom_task = BashOperator(
    task_id="bash_task",
    bash_command="exporting values",
    env={
        'CUSTOM_ENV': 'CUSTOM_VALUE',
        **os.environ
    },
    dag=dag
)

get_env_task = BashOperator(
    task_id="sample_task",
    bash_command="echo $CUSTOM_ENV",
    dag=dag
)

but when i try to echo the variable, nothing returns. Perhaps it will be good to build in the docs how to do this as I need exported values for a task.

Each operators is executed as separate process, so you need to explicitly exchange data using xcom. http://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/concepts/xcoms.html
