prefect.deployments.steps.core.StepExecutionError: Encountered error while running prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone

It appears that the error you are encountering,

StepExecutionError

while running

prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone

, is a known issue. Here are the potential causes and solutions based on existing documentation and GitHub issues: 1. Repository Cloning Issues: - Ensure the repository URL and access token (if required) are correctly specified. - Verify if there are any restrictions or permissions that may prevent cloning. 2. Concurrent Execution: - One user reported that setting concurrency limits for the work queue may help. Specifically, reducing the concurrency limit to 1 allowed the process to work correctly. Example:

yaml
    work_queue:
      concurrency: 1

3. Existing Directory: - Another common issue is the destination directory not being empty, which can cause subsequent runs to fail. Deleting the existing directory before a new pull might solve this. Example:

yaml
    pull:
      - prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory:
          directory: /tmp/your_dir

      - shell_script:
          script: rm -rf /tmp/your_dir  # Ensure the directory is empty

      - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
          repository: <https://your_repository.git>
          access_token: "{{ prefect.blocks.secret.your-token }}"

4. Documentation: - Git Clone Step in the Prefect documentation provides further insights into how to properly configure the git clone step. 5. GitHub Issues: - Refer to these relevant GitHub issues for more context and potential fixes: - Issue 1: Concurrency related - Issue 2: Existing directory issue - Issue 3: Branch naming issue If none of the above solutions resolve your issue, providing specifics or additional logs may help isolate and address the problem more effectively. If you're already implementing these solutions and still facing issues, consider checking for updates or further guidance in the Prefect documentation and GitHub discussion boards.
