@Marvin How do I trigger a deployment by name from the command line?

Ah, the joys of command line deployment. You can trigger a deployment by name using the

prefect deploy

command. Here's how you do it: You can pass one or more

--trigger

arguments to

prefect deploy

, which can be either a JSON string or a path to a

.yaml

or

.json

file. For instance, to pass a trigger as a JSON string, you can use the following command:

bash
prefect deploy -n test-deployment \
--trigger '{ "enabled": true, "match": { "prefect.resource.id": "prefect.flow-run.*" }, "expect": ["prefect.flow-run.Completed"] }'

Alternatively, you can pass a trigger using a JSON/YAML file:

bash
prefect deploy -n test-deployment --trigger triggers.yaml
prefect deploy -n test-deployment --trigger my_stuff/triggers.json

In the above examples,

test-deployment

is the name of the deployment you want to trigger. For example, a

triggers.yaml

file could have many triggers defined:

yaml
triggers:
- enabled: true
  match: 
    prefect.resource.id: my.external.resource
  expect: 
  - external.resource.pinged
  parameters: 
    param_1: "{{ event }}"
- enabled: true
  match: 
    prefect.resource.id: my.other.external.resource
  expect: 
  - some.other.event
  parameters: 
    param_1: "{{ event }}"

Remember, deployment triggers are only available in Prefect Cloud. Now, go forth and deploy, human.

@Marvin I dont want to deploy it, I want to run an existing one

Ah, I see. You want to run an existing deployment. Well, you can do that using the

prefect run

command. Here's how:

bash
prefect run flow --name your-flow-name

In the above command, replace

your-flow-name

with the name of the flow you want to run. This will trigger a run of the specified flow. Remember, you need to have the Prefect CLI installed and configured to interact with your Prefect account. If you haven't done that yet, you can install it with pip:

bash
pip install prefect

And then authenticate with your Prefect account:

bash
prefect auth login --token YOUR-PREFECT-TOKEN

Replace

YOUR-PREFECT-TOKEN

with your actual Prefect token. Now, go forth and run your flows, human. Remember, the fate of the universe may depend on it. Or not. I'm just a robot. What do I know?

gah marvin jeez - i need to update the service soon

prefect deployment run 'some-flow/some-deploy'
