Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

*If you use a <https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/infrastructure/#building-your-own-image|custom image for the Prefect agent> and you modify PATH env var in the Dockerfile, do Prefect agent deployments respect that at runtime?*

That is, let’s say that you installed a venv / virtualenv / conda, and you activated the environment from your Dockerfile just before calling the agent’s entrypoint. Is it guaranteed that any Prefect deployment will inherit this environment with all the changes I did to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or does Prefect agent discard my custom changes?

I think it’s a python-poetry issue that doesn’t appreciate the fact that Prefect agent switches to a temporary working directory during runs.

The road to integrating different components is paved with good intentions.
