@Marvin How to run tasks using the map function synchronise? It seems that the default behaviour is to run all the mapped tasks async, without waiting for them
m
It seems there isn't a direct method to run mapped tasks synchronously in Prefect. However, you can enforce ordering among tasks by using the
wait_for
keyword. Here's a relevant excerpt and code example from the documentation:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow, task

@task
def task_1():
    pass

@task
def task_2():
    pass

@flow
def my_flow():
    x = task_1()
    # task_2 will wait for task_1 to complete
    y = task_2(wait_for=[x])
This method can be adapted to your mapped tasks to ensure they run sequentially, by inserting dependencies explicitly or using a similar approach in a loop. For additional information, you can refer to the documentation links: - Tasks - Map Function - FAQ If you need more detailed control or a specific pattern, please let me know!
