Hi guys Could you help and explain please I have following structure in my project:

my-project
└── important_directory
    ├── flow.py
└── prefect.yaml

How should I fill prefect.yaml to update code from gitlab storage, given that

my-project

is a git repo? I've tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked, flow runs fail with file not found error Last attempt was:

pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory:
    directory: /home/user/my-project/
- prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
    repository: <https://gitlab.sth.com/my-project.git>
    branch: main

# the deployments section allows you to provide configuration for deploying flows
deployments:
- name: my-deployment
  entrypoint: important_directory/flow.py:my_method

GitLab blocks are installed; prefect version 2.13.1

Hi @Ana, when you say “GitLab blocks are installed”, do you mean a GitLabCredentials block? If this is a private repo you will want to pass in credentials in the

git_clone

step, like so:

pull:
    - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
        repository: <https://github.com/org/repo.git>
        credentials: "{{ prefect.blocks.gitlab-credentials.my-credentials }}"

But you also mentioned that it’s actually failing on a file not found error. The output to the error would be useful. Also, I don’t believe there is a need for the

set_working_directory

step prior to

git_clone

but I may be missing something about your setup.

i dont need credentials, but ive tried with them as well it seems I succeeded with cloning because finally I found out that it is cloned actually in /tmp/tmp-prefect folder😃 and now i have a problem that i cannot import my flow coz it seems that tmp folder is deleted straightforward actually i would like to just imitate "git pull" command in "root folder/master branch" on serverhost, is it possible not to clone in other folders?

It shouldn’t be getting deleted after cloning. Can you the errors for where you run into a file not found error?

I found out
