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:
Copy code
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
j
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
Copy code
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

yes, thank you for clarifying that! 😅

Yes correct, the cli doesn’t have a 
schedule
flag
