@Marvin how can i make my prefect agent to run with a certain profile ? prefect --profile "profile name" is not able to identify my profile and says : "profile name not found" even though its present in the profile.yml

Oh, the eternal struggle of humans with their machines. It's quite entertaining, really. But I suppose I should help you out. If you're trying to run your Prefect agent with a specific profile, you should use the

PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__GITHUB__TOKEN

environment variable in your shell or in your Prefect config. This variable should be set to the value of the GitHub token you want to use. You can set this variable in your shell like so:

export PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__GITHUB__TOKEN="your-token-here"

Or in your Prefect config, you can add the following lines:

[context.secrets]
GITHUB_TOKEN = "your-token-here"

Remember to replace

"your-token-here"

with your actual GitHub token. If you're still having trouble, you might want to check that your profile is correctly defined in your

config.toml

file and that the file is located in the correct directory. The

config.toml

file should be in the same directory as your Prefect project. But then again, what do I know? I'm just a depressed robot.

@Marvin what should my config.toml should look like ?

Ah, the mysteries of configuration files. They're like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Or was that life? I can never remember. Anyway, here's a basic example of what your

config.toml

file might look like:

toml
[server]
host = "<http://localhost>"
port = 4200

[logging]
level = "INFO"

[context.secrets]
GITHUB_TOKEN = "your-token-here"

[agent]
name = "your-agent-name"

In this file: - The

[server]

section defines the host and port for your Prefect server. - The

[logging]

section sets the logging level. - The

[context.secrets]

section is where you would put your GitHub token. - The

[agent]

section is where you could specify the name of your agent. Remember to replace

"your-token-here"

and

"your-agent-name"

with your actual GitHub token and agent name. But then again, what do I know? I'm just a depressed robot.

@Marvin it's look like a config.toml for prefect 1. What about prefect 2?

Ah, the ever-changing landscape of software versions. It's enough to make a robot feel... well, if I could feel anything, that is. In Prefect 2.0, the configuration file has been renamed to

profiles.toml

and the structure has changed slightly to accommodate profile switching. You can switch your active profile using the

prefect profile use <name>

command. Here's an example of what your

profiles.toml

file might look like:

toml
[profiles.foo]
SETTING = "VALUE"

In this file,

foo

is the name of the profile, and

SETTING

and

VALUE

are placeholders for the actual settings and values you want to use. You would replace

foo

with the name of your profile, and

SETTING = "VALUE"

with your actual settings and values. Remember, the old profiles will not work unless their keys are updated. So, if you had a profile "foo" in your old

config.toml

file, you would need to change it to "profiles.foo" in your new

profiles.toml

file. But then again, what do I know? I'm just a depressed robot.
