Is there an intention of allowing the evaluation of sensors from the cli? We can preview them with

dagster sensor preview my_sensor

but cannot evaluate them currently i.e.:

dagster sensor evaluate my_sensor

(kind of like how you can kick off a job with

dagster job execute

)

not an intention as of yet - we have a way of doing this via the UI using the test sensor button,

ok, yeah, I’m looking for a way to run sensors from the command line so I can test things without having to wait for ticks or run the deamon

( to be clear the button works without running daemon ) but understandable that you might want to also do this via the CLI

ah, yeah good point, but doesn’t the button only “test” the sensor? i.e.: it persists the cursor, but doesn’t actually launch the runs?

There’s options to open runs in Launchpad, and optionally persist the cursor

+1 on this. Something that i usually prefer to do is use Vscode in debug mode and step through code which is possible or jobs but has not been with sensor
