When using projects for multi-deployments, it looks like I should be able to have my deployment.yaml file in the parent directory of all the project folders; however, when I try to deploy I get the following error (i’ll put it in the thread)

✅ 1

Copy code

line 186, in deploy
    with open("prefect.yaml", "r") as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'prefect.yaml'

I have the following folder structure: flows / project_1 / flow.py prefect.yaml deployment.yaml I know it’s looking for that

prefect.yaml

file, but does the deployment.yaml file have to be in the same directory?

Yep! The

prefect.yaml

file should also be at the root of the project.

Gotcha. I was following this example: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/actions-prefect-deploy/tree/main/examples/multi-deployment Which shows that the prefect.yaml file can be in the sub directory

Ah, we’ll need to update that example. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!

No problem. So if I have multiple projects what would be the best route? So essentially each project can have it’s own deployment.yaml file?

Yep, multiple nested deployment.yaml and prefect.yaml files would also be a pattern that works. You’ll need to execute

prefect deploy

from each of those nested directories if your decide to use that pattern.

Okay that sounds great. Thank you!
