In Dagster, sensors are used to monitor external systems and trigger runs of jobs or pipelines. When a sensor triggers a run, it can pass configuration data to the run through a

RunRequest

, which can include configuration for the ops within the job. However, sensors do not directly pass a "context" to an op in the same way that an op might receive a context during its execution. Instead, you can pass parameters to the op through the run configuration when you create a

RunRequest

from within the sensor. Here's an example from the documentation on how to define a sensor that yields a

RunRequest

with a run configuration:

python from dagster import sensor, RunRequest, RunConfig  @sensor(job=my_job) def my_directory_sensor():     for filename in os.listdir(MY_DIRECTORY):         filepath = os.path.join(MY_DIRECTORY, filename)         if os.path.isfile(filepath):             yield RunRequest(                 run_key=filename,                 run_config=RunConfig(                     ops={"process_file": {"config": {"filename": filename}}}                 ),             )

In this example, the

RunRequest

includes a

run_config

that specifies the configuration for the

process_file

op within

my_job

. The configuration includes a parameter

filename

that will be passed to the op when the job is executed. If you need to pass additional context-like information to an op, you would typically do so by including that information in the run configuration. The op can then access this configuration through its own context during execution. Remember that the sensor itself does not execute the op; it merely triggers a job run and provides the necessary configuration for that run. The op's context is created during the job execution and is separate from the sensor's context.
