02/03/2024, 11:18 AMflows.json file. The error message you received suggests that the existing flow registered with Prefect has a different entrypoint compared to the one you're attempting to use now.
To resolve this error, you could manually update the flows.json file as the error message suggested, or you can try re-registering the flow with the new entrypoint. Unfortunately, there's no Prefect CLI command to force an update without touching the flows.json file directly. When registering a flow, Prefect keeps track of flows and their entrypoints in this file, and conflicting information needs to be resolved either manually or by re-registering the flow with the updated entrypoint.
If you decide to edit the flows.json file, make sure to back up the file first, and then proceed with removing the existing entry for 'cloud-storage-flow' and re-registering your flow with the new entrypoint. If you regularly encounter this issue, it might be worth scripting the process or creating an issue on the Prefect GitHub repository to suggest an improvement to the deployment process.
