Hi there, I've looked through documentation but haven't found an answer – any help would be appreciated. I have 2 pipeline files and I would like to import the output of an asset job from pipeline_1 to use in pipeline_2. Is this possible?

How are you defining the pipelines? If you de-couple the concept of a job from the assets made from it, use SourceAssets to make them aware of assets across modules, and then define jobs at a separate level, while allowing you to keep your job definitions as they already were.

perfect, thank you

If you don't want to use source assets, you can also explicitly declare the inputs of an asset using the

ins

argument of the

@asset

decorator, like here: https://github.com/dagster-io/biweekly-demo/blob/a71c0b7e6bbf94b2929e2fba635633fe7b2a8a82/my_project/assets/forecasting/forecasting.py#L11

Interesting, is there an advantage of using ins?

The benefit of

ins

is being able to access assets from other modules explicitly. Here's a simple example on how to use: https://github.com/dagster-io/biweekly-demo/blob/a71c0b7e6bbf94b2929e2fba635633fe7b2a8a82/my_project/assets/forecasting/forecasting.py#L11 It uses

ins

to grab the asset

ben/continent_population

from the

population

module.
