ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gspread' in Airflow

I am running a defautl airflow image version 2.5.1 on docker and I am trying to create a DAG in order to send data to a google gsheets. I already have the credentials and I've tested it and it is ok with that. I've created an env, my OS is windows and my python version is 3.10.2. That's my code:

    from airflow import DAG
    from airflow.providers.google.common.hooks.base_google import GoogleBaseHook
    from df2gspread import df2gspread 
    import gspread
    from datetime import datetime

    default_args = {
        'owner': 'airflow',
        'start_date': datetime(2023, 1, 1)
    }

    with DAG(
        dag_id="test",
        start_date=datetime.now(),
        schedule_interval="@daily",
    ) as dag:
        
        @dag.task
        def test_dag():

            # Create a hook object
            # When using the google_cloud_default we can use 
            # hook = GoogleBaseHook()
            # Or for a deligate use: GoogleBaseHook(delegate_to='foo@bar.com')
            hook = GoogleBaseHook(gcp_conn_id='google_conn_id') 

            # Get the credentials
            credentials = hook.get_credentials()
            print(credentials)

            # Optional, set the delegate email if needed later. 
            # You need a domain wide delegate service account to use this.
            #credentials = credentials.with_subject('foo@bar.com')

            # Use the credentials to authenticate the gspread client
            gc = gspread.Client(auth=credentials)

            # # Create Spreadsheet
            gc.create('example') 
            gc.list_spreadsheet_files()
        
        
        test_dag()

When I initialize airflow on localhost, I keep getting import errors on my DAG, indicating ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gspread'.

I've read some questions made here on stack overflow about that issue, and I've already tried creating an env, I've tried installing the library with pip install gspread, pip3 install gspread and none has worked.

Your issue is: the airflow docker image does not contain the package gspread.

That means when you start the airflow docker image it tries to load your code, at that point you code tries to import gspread but it's not installed in the docker image so it fails.

In a nutshell: when using airflow docker image you can only use airflow packages and packages provided by airflow. gspread is not provided by airflow.

What you need is: create a file named Dockerfile

Use the airflow image as a base image (using the instruction: FROM apache/airflow:2.5.1)

Then install gspread. Using the following instruction: RUN pip install gspread

Then save the file and update your docker compose so it uses your custom image instead of the original image.

For that simply update the docker compose file, comment the line bellow

image: ${AIRFLOW_IMAGE_NAME:-apache/airflow:2.5.1}

Then uncomment the line bellow:

build: .

In case of any issue come back here will adjust what need be.
