Hi! 👋 Possibly simple question which I can’t seem to find an answer for:
Can I access the state of the current flow from within that flow?
In particular I’d like to check if the flow is retrying, and if so pass an extra argument to my task(s) i.e.
Copy code
@flow
def my_flow():
if <somehow_get_state_of_this_flow?> == "Retrying":
do_something()✅ 1

when running tasks, you can do:
Copy code
if task.get_state().is_failed():Anna Geller
07/26/2022, 1:32 PM
or rather:
Copy code
if task.get_state().is_retrying():Anna Geller
07/26/2022, 1:33 PM
this assumes that task is submitted to task runner

Copy code
@task
def do_sth():
...
@flow
def my_flow():
if do_sth.submit().get_state().is_retrying():
do_something()d

07/26/2022, 1:37 PMThanks, but maybe it wasn’t clear, I’m retrying the flow, not a task (added in 2.0b8).
All my tasks are using
shell_run_command()prefect_shella

for 2.0b8, this syntax works for tasks https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-take-action-on-a-state-change-of-a-task-run-task-level-state-handler/82
