3.0.6

What happened?

Hello,

Today, FastAPI released a new minor version, going from 0.120.4 to 0.121.0.

This new release has moved the is_async_gen_callable method from fastapi.dependants.utils to being a method on the fastapi.dependants.models.Dependant data class.

It triggered an error from a project using Airflow 3.0.6:

ImportError while loading conftest '/home/runner/work/scraping-toolbox/scraping-toolbox/scraping-toolbox-core/tests/conftest.py'.

I would guess the issue could be fixed here by adding a maximum version ; but we could also consider fixing the import.

What you think should happen instead?

Airflow 3.0 shouldn't have an incompatibility with FastAPI.

How to reproduce

• Create a new folder
• Start a new Python virtual environment with whatever tool you prefer (I used Mise and UV)
• I installed apache-airflow==3.0.6 with uv add apache-airflow==3.0.6.
• I checked fastapi version with uv pip show fastapi, it was indeed fastapi==0.121.0
• Then in the Python console, I reproducted the issue with from airflow.utils.db import check, resetdb

Correct. Fast API 0.121 does not work with cadwyn zmievsa/cadwyn#305 -> you can chime in there to raise it's priority. Also Airflow 3 does not really work well with FastAPI 0.118+ -> see fastapi/fastapi#14262 and Airflow 3.1 has (for now) FastAPI limited to <0.118 - only after yesterday's fix in 0.121 we can switch to >=0.121 but only after the cadwyn bug is fixed.

Converting to a discussion - this is not an Aiflow issue and will be fixed independently
