Question

Is there a way to pass a `null` in for the cron flag for a deployment We have two workspaces and don t want the schedules to run in one of them as the other is more for testing This would be using the CLI so `prefect deploy`

We have a cron schedule in our prefect yaml file and essentially want to override that for the testing environment so it won t run on a schedule I tried to set a year earlier than this year so technically it won t ever run but I get invalid cron expressions Seems to be with the package croniter but not sure if that s it or not

hey when do `prefect deploy` you can opt to not pass a schedule Alternatively you can pass the schedule and disable it with ``` prefect deployment pause schedule``` or via the client api etc

Gotcha On prefect deploy we have a schedule in our yaml file we want to keep we just when we deploy to another workspace we don t want that schedule to run

I was curious if there was a way to pass a flag in to prevent that

Jake Kaplan · Answer

ah gotcha if you re okay modifying the yaml I m pretty sure set the schedule to `null` as opposed to the cron under the schedule ``` schedule null ```

< Jake Kaplan> just want to clarify I think you re referring to setting the schedule to `null` in the `deployments` section rather than modifying the existing `schedule` section at the top of the `prefect yaml`

Jake Kaplan · Answer

yes thank you for clarifying that sweat smile

Yes correct the cli doesn t have a `schedule` flag
