argument to your function. Here's an example:
python
from prefect import task
@task
def process_file(file_path: str):
# Your code here to process the file
pass
In this example, file_path
is an additional argument to the process_file
function. When you run this task, you would provide the file_path
argument like so:
python
process_file.run(file_path="/path/to/your/file")
Remember, though, that tasks are meant to be self-contained units of work. If your task depends on some external state, it's generally better to pass that state in as an argument, rather than relying on it being available in some global scope.
Also, keep in mind that Prefect won't track task execution in your Prefect backend if you call the task function directly. You won't be able to use features such as retries with this function call. All tasks must be called from within a flow. Tasks may not be called from other tasks.
