My OS is Mac OS. I followed airflow official installation guide to install. But when I test: airflow test tutorial print_date 2015-06-01 from airflow testing it doesn't print any output. The result is here.. I wonder did I install it successfully? I've run other commands on the official airflow testing page. They report no error.
So far I see only WARNING output, it doesn't mean that airflow isn't running nor installed improperly. You'd have an easier time testing your install with airflow list_dags and you probably must run airflow initdb before most of the commands (and look at the airflow.cfg file).

There seems to be no proper documentation about upgrading airflow. The Upgrading Airflow to a newer version page only talks about upgrading the database. So what is the proper way of upgrading airflow?
Is it just upgrading the python packages to the newest versions? Or should I use the same venv and install the newer airflow version completely from scratch? Or is it something else altogether?
I'm guessing doing the database upgrade would be the final step followed by one of these steps.
I was also struggling with upgrading airflow for minor versions and didn't feel like I found a good answer in the docs. I think I have the right approach after looking back at how I installed airflow in the first place.
If you followed the guide to run airflow locally you'll want to change the value for AIRFLOW_VERSION in the commands to your desired version.
If you followed the guide to run airflow on docker, then you'll want to fetch the latest docker-compose.yaml. The command on the site always has the latest version. Then re-run docker compose up.
You can confirm you have the right version by running airflow version. I run airflow via docker so the docker steps work for me, I imagine the local steps should be about the same.
Adding to Vivian's answer -
I had installed airflow from PyPi and was upgrading from 2.2.4 to 2.3.0.
To upgrade airflow,
I installed the new version of airflow in the same virtual environment as 2.2.4 (using this).
Upgraded the database using airflow db upgrade. More details here.
You might have to manually upgrade providers using pip install packagename -U
After this, when I started Airflow, I got an error related to some missing conf. Airflow wanted the newest version of airflow.cfg, but I had the older version. To fix this,
Renamed my airflow.cfg to airflowbackup.cfg. This is done so that airflow will make a new airflow.cfg on start up when it sees that there is no config file.
Compared airflowbackup.cfg with the 2.2.4 config to find out all the fields I had changed.
Manually made those same changes in the newly made airflow.cfg
So, I'm trying to install Airflow on my laptop and I was able to do that using WSL but I can't seem to open it.
My webserver is running but I cant open it on localhost:8080
The system is taking eons to run airflow scheduler
I am getting an error when attempting to create a user. I have Airflow running on Unbunto Virtualbox and I am SSH from Visual Studio Code. As a sanity test, I ran airflow scheduler and got a "command not found" again. Attempted to run the command with sudo as well.
Turns out if you are working in the sandbox and close out virtual studio code you need to get back in the sandbox and then run the commands.
>source sandbox/bin/activate
>airflow db init
>airflowebserver
Now that Airflow 2.0 is released, we're excited to try out some the new features.
What's the best way of upgrading from 1.10.11 to Airflow 2.0?
Will my existing code work or will I be required to change my DAGs?
We'll start upgrading in our DEV environment for testing later this week.
Airflow 1.10.11 and local executor and Python3
The documentation lacks the information, how to exactly upgrade to 1.10.14 while the newer version is already available.
According to the PIP documentation (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#installing-packages) this should work:
python -m pip install apache-airflow==1.10.14
This seemed to work for me, but I was not able to start the websever after.
First, I had to upgrade the DB:
airflow upgradedb
Second, starting the webserver showed the problem that now the "secret_key" has to contain a real secret key.
Execute
openssl rand -hex 30
and add the hex key to the airflow.cfg file.
Then follow the remaining steps (including executing the check script) from the upgrade documentation.
As it is not described, either, the actual upgrade to 2.0 should work by using
pip install -U apache-airflow
Note especially the change in the DB upgrade command (airflow db upgrade instead of airflow upgradedb).

We have documented it at https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/upgrading-to-2.html
Step 1: Upgrade to Python 3
Step 2: Upgrade to Airflow 1.10.14 (a.k.a Airflow "bridge" release)
Step 3: Install and run the Airflow Upgrade check scripts (https://pypi.org/project/apache-airflow-upgrade-check/)
Step 4: Import Operators from Backport Providers
Step 5: Upgrade Airflow DAGs
Step 6: Upgrade Configuration settings
Step 7: Upgrade to Airflow 2.0
The upgrade-check package should help you in upgrading.

Airflow has an upgradedb command that needs to be run when upgrading Airflow versions. I wonder if it's safe to run even if the version is the same
The way it works is in db.py they use the alembic command module to check the checked in files in the migrations directory https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/tree/master/airflow/migrations/versions, and only make the changes if the commit version differs. But these files only get changed/added once we change the version so the upgrade db step does nothing when it's the same version/whl.
Adding it as a default step since I've verified it's safe to do so.
