airflow CTL --conf option can't parse input

[atakanyenel]

Airflow CTL Version

Latest stable version

Airflow CTL Command

airflow dags trigger --conf '{"my-key": "my-value"}' --dag-id "my-dag"

Keyring Backend / Version

keyrings.alt 5.0.2

Auth Type

username:password

What is the current behaviour?

I'm trying to trigger a DagRun from the CLI. I'm already logged in to airflow with airflow auth login --user etc.

When I'm giving the dag parameters to CLI with --conf, the CLI rejects them, saying that they can't be parsed. AI analysis tells me that the CLI tries to parse the --conf flag directly as python dictionary without parsing the JSON first. Here is the failing value for my case:

airflow/airflow-core/src/airflow/cli/cli_config.py

Line 1304 in 8cd9232

ARG_CONF,

What is the expected results?

The command should trigger a DAG run with the given json config.

Anything else?
