Is there a way to name a

shell_op

?

@Shriram Holla What is a

shell_op

? I haven't come across that before.

You should be able to find info about it here https://docs.dagster.io/_apidocs/libraries/dagster-shell https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/pull/8082/files

Right. I notice that there is some documentation for

dagster_shell.create_shell_command_op

which takes a

name

parameter. https://docs.dagster.io/_apidocs/libraries/dagster-shell Is that what you're after?

I was going to do that initially but my shell command is created dynamically and I want the name to be dynamic too.

create_shell_command_op

doesn’t allow me to set it dynamically

I use a factory pattern to generate some of my ops, which allows the

name

and

description

to be dynamic.

def some_op(type: str):
    @op(name=f"some_op_{type}")
    def _some_op(context):
        # do some stuff here
    return _some_op

@job
def some_job():
    some_op("special_type")()

Maybe you could use a similar pattern to get the flixibility you need when generating your shell ops.

oh wow this is very useful. Thanks!
