Getting Template Error while triggering SQL using Airflow from python?

I am trying to run a SQL script from Airflow. It is failing due to a Template error.

The script is basically trying a run a sql from Athena and load into Redshift table.

SQl is placed at: redshift/sql/public/flow/KN_AWS_RE_ShipmentData_dup_update.sql

My Airflow Code

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

from airflow import DAG
from airflow.operators.postgres_operator import PostgresOperator

from utils import FAILURE_EMAILS

yesterday = datetime.combine(datetime.today() - timedelta(1), datetime.min.time())

default_args = {
    'owner': 'airflow',
    'depends_on_past': False,
    'start_date': yesterday,
    'email': FAILURE_EMAILS,
    'email_on_failure': False,
    'email_on_retry': False,
    'retries': 1,
    'retry_delay': timedelta(minutes=5)
}

dag = DAG('sample_sql', default_args=default_args, schedule_interval='0 4 * * *')

execute_notebook = PostgresOperator(
    task_id='sample_sql',
    postgres_conn_id='REDSHIFT_CONN',
    sql="redshift/sql/public/flow/KN_AWS_RE_ShipmentData_dup_update.sql",
    params={'limit': '50'},
    dag=dag
)

Error

How do I fix this issue?

You have to specify the path to the .sql template file at the instantiation of the DAG, with the variable template_searchpath. By default Jinja will look into your DAG folder.

Note that your DAG contains one bad practice, that is having a start_date that is dynamic. The start_date should be fixed (i.e. datetime(2020,4,13)) instead of dynamic (i.e. datetime.now()). You can read more about it here.

This said I would try to change the DAG definition to this:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

from airflow import DAG
from airflow.operators.postgres_operator import PostgresOperator

from utils import FAILURE_EMAILS

# Remove this
# yesterday = datetime.combine(datetime.today() - timedelta(1), datetime.min.time())

default_args = {
    'owner': 'airflow',
    'depends_on_past': False,
    'start_date': datetime(2020,4,13),  # Change this
    'email': FAILURE_EMAILS,
    'email_on_failure': False,
    'email_on_retry': False,
    'retries': 1,
    'retry_delay': timedelta(minutes=5)
}

dag = DAG(
    'sample_sql', 
    default_args=default_args, 
    schedule_interval='0 4 * * *',
    template_searchpath='/redshift/sql/public/flow/')

execute_notebook = PostgresOperator(
    task_id='sample_sql',
    postgres_conn_id='REDSHIFT_CONN',
    sql='KN_AWS_RE_ShipmentData_dup_update.sql',
    params={'limit': '50'},
    dag=dag
)

execute_notebook  # Tell airflow the tasks dependencies, in this case no dependency

Of course you should choose the correct absolute base path to assign to template_searchpath, so something like /home/redshift/sql/public/flow.
