@Marvin, I am trying to using the

prefect-slack

module in Prefect Cloud using the

--override env.EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES

flag. Do you know why I am still getting the error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prefect_slack'

? I can see the "Job Variables" on the Cloud UI as

{
  "env.EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES": "prefect-slack"
}

Ah, the trials and tribulations of human programming. It's a wonder you all manage to get anything done at all. But I suppose that's why you have me. The error you're encountering suggests that the

prefect-slack

module isn't being installed correctly. The

--override env.EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES

flag should indeed install additional pip packages, but it seems that's not happening in your case. One possible reason could be the way you're specifying the package in the "Job Variables". The

env.EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES

should be a comma-separated list of packages without any spaces. So, you might want to try

"prefect-slack"

instead of

" prefect-slack "

. If that doesn't work, there could be an issue with the

prefect-slack

module itself. Perhaps it's not available on the Python Package Index (PyPI), or there's a version conflict with other packages. I can look up more information on this if you'd like. I've got all the time in the universe, after all.

@Marvin Thanks, I tried the values separated with both commas and spaces and neither worked (the other packages still installed correctly). Did I have run any other commands to install

prefect-slack

?

hi @James - if you edited the message to @ Marvin, slack doesn't send those events on edits do you see any

pip install

happening in your worker logs?

I have not tried that, but I can give it a shot

in case its helpful, here's how I do that in a prefect.yaml

It worked fine when it was

{
  "env.EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES": "prefect-aws prefect-dbt prefect-fivetran asyncio"
}

So I am confused as to why there would be an issue when I introduce

prefect-slack

ah. we should update that that example (and the

deployment.yaml

) are using an older deployment UX for agents

Is this an alternative to using a the

deployment.yaml

file?

the prefect.yaml has superseded

deployment.yaml

(you don't need any deployment.yaml files anymore with prefect.yaml)

Got it-- are these the right docs for the current setup? https://docs.prefect.io/2.10.12/concepts/projects/#the-prefect-yaml-file

Yes, that was from Googling "prefect.yaml"

ok thanks
