@Marvin I am self-hosting and I created a new deployment, but the prefect UI shows a blank page in the deployments section. I am sure the deployment exists, as I can execute runs from it

It appears there is an open issue on the Prefect GitHub repository that might be related to the problem you're experiencing. The issue describes a bug in the Prefect UI where, after attempting to create a flow with a block input and clicking the 'Add +' button in the UI, the page becomes blank and unresponsive. This issue has been noted in both cloud and local environments and across multiple browsers such as Chrome and Safari. While this might not be the exact scenario you're encountering, it does indicate there could be a broader problem with the UI handling block inputs or deployments in some cases, leading to a blank page. To help resolve your issue more effectively, could you confirm if your deployment involves block inputs or if it seems related to the steps mentioned in the GitHub issue I found? Additionally, could you specify if there are any console errors in the browser when you visit the deployments section of the UI, or if there are any unique configurations in your deployment that might contribute to this behavior?

@Marvin There are indeed two blocks involved with my deployment (github and docker). I do not see any console errors when I visit the deployment page

Given the information about the involvement of block inputs in your deployment and the open issue on the Prefect GitHub repository regarding UI blank pages when dealing with block inputs, it seems likely that the problem you're encountering is part of this broader issue. Although in the reported issue the UI becomes unresponsive after interacting with the 'Add +' button for block inputs, the underlying cause could be affecting the deployments page in a similar manner, even if it doesn't result in visible console errors. Since this is an open issue, the Prefect team might be already working on a fix. However, here are a few steps you can take in the meantime: 1. Check for updates: Ensure you're running the latest version of Prefect as updates may contain bug fixes for UI issues. 2. Clear Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, stale data in your browser can cause issues. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies and then revisit the UI. 3. Try different browsers or incognito mode: This can help determine if the issue is related to browser extensions or settings. 4. Reach out to Prefect Support: This would be especially relevant because if it's an ongoing issue, they might be able to provide a workaround or indicate when a fix could be expected. 5. Monitor the GitHub issue: Keep an eye on the open GitHub issue for updates on its resolution. Contributors and the maintainers will update the issue when there's progress. If you have the capability and it's critical for your workflow, you might also consider contributing to the resolution of the issue on GitHub if you can identify the bug and propose a fix. This is part of the open-source collaborative nature of Prefect and many other projects.
