> Key: AIRFLOW-2855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2855
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DAG
> Reporter: Xiaodong DENG

> Priority: Critical
>
> *schedule_interval* of DAGs can either be *timedelta* or a *Cron expression*.
> When it's a Cron expression, there is no mechanism to check its validity at this moment. If there is anything wrong with the Cron expression itself, it will cause issues when methods _*following_schedule(**)*_ and _*previous_schedule()*_ are invoked (will affect scheduling). However, exceptions will only be written into logs. From Web UI, it’s hard for users to identify this issue & the source while no new task can be initiated (especially for users who’re not very familiar with Cron).
> It may be good to show error messages in web UI when a DAG's Cron expression (as schedule_interval) can not be parsed by *croniter* properly.
