prefect deploy build

with an S3 upload block is hanging unless I use

--skip-upload

$ prefect deployment build flows/helloworld/helloworld_flow.py:helloworld -sb s3/prod -n helloworld --skip-upload
Found flow 'Hello World'
Deployment YAML created at '/home/aradox/code/wfp/wfp-prefect/helloworld-deployment.yaml'.

$ prefect deployment build flows/helloworld/helloworld_flow.py:helloworld -sb s3/prod -n helloworld
Found flow 'Hello World'

The command uploads all files/folders starting from the present working directory. Whatever directory you use the command in, you will want to make a .prefectignore file and add to it files you don't want uploaded. https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/deployments/#create-a-deployment-on-the-cli

thank you!

What output are you seeing from the terminal when the hanging is happening?

no output from the terminal

I saw the same thing, I think it’s just extremely slow at uploading to S3. If I limit the files sent using .prefectignore (eg no libraries or pycache) it’s still slow but finishes after several seconds

Here's my .prefectignore. Maybe there's something you're not catching like .git/ files?
