Hi, I've been trying out the new

flow.deploy()

function for deployments. My code is stored in Git, so I use

flow.from_source()

. Below is my deployment code:

if __name__ == '__main__':

flow.from_source(

source=GitRepository(

url="<https://dev.azure.com/MyData/Prefect-Flows/_git/Prefect2.0-Flows>",

branch="main",

credentials={

"access_token": Secret.load("devops-prefect-repo-pat").get()

}),

entrypoint="assets.py:assets_load"

).deploy(

name="Assets-Load",

description="Loads Assets into db table",

tags=["assets"],

work_pool_name="local-process-workpool",

work_queue_name="my-server",

interval=21600

)

However, upon running this, I get the following error:

File "C:\python_scripts\Prefect2.0-Flows\venv\lib\site-packages\prefect\flows.py", line 1461, in load_flow_from_entrypoint

path, func_name = entrypoint.split(":")

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

I did some troubleshooting and printed out

entrypoint

variable in the aforementioned

flows.py

library package, and it shows the following:

C:\Users\cuet\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp7ir42eb0\Prefect2.0-Flows-main\alm_assets.py:servicenow_assets_load

As you can see from the path above, there's two

:

characters, thus the unpacking error above. This seems to only be an issue on Windows machines that contain absolute paths including the drive letter. Is this something that was overlooked or am I doing something incorrectly?

Tagging @alex who thinks a lot about this stuff!

Hey @Carlos Cueto! This is a known issue, and there’s a PR open to fix it! I expect this fix will be included in one of the next releases.

Thanks @alex
