If I cancel a flow

A

which is run via

run_deployment

, and that flow has a number of subflows also triggered via

run_deployment

, will those subflows also be cancelled?

Hey @Gabe Villasana! Yes, sub-flow runs of a canceled flow run will also be canceled.

Great thanks! Also I saw in the docs that you can cancel a flow run via the python SDK, though I'm not sure where that lives? I know both the flow name and the flow_run_name

@Gabe Villasana, if this helps: I had to do cancel operation through prefect CLI with python

subprocess

library

command = f"prefect flow-run cancel     '{running_flow_id}'"

        process = subprocess.Popen(
            command,
            shell=True,
            stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
            stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
        )

output, error = process.communicate()

        if output:
            print(f"Output: {output.decode()}")
        if error:
            print(f"Error: {error.decode()}")

Thanks Jack! I managed to find a workaround using redis and the prefect runtime context 😄
