@Marvin how do i run

prefect deploy -n "someflow/somedeploy"

non-interactively (i.e. without user prompts)

To run

prefect deploy -n "someflow/somedeploy"

non-interactively, you can use the

--field

flag to provide all required fields programmatically, thus avoiding interactive prompts. Here’s a step-by-step explanation based on the available documentation: 1. Provide Required Fields: If any fields are required for the deployment process, provide them using the

--field

flag. Here’s an example of how this might look:

bash
prefect deploy -n "someflow/somedeploy" --field key=value

2. Ensure Configuration: Make sure your

prefect.yaml

file is properly configured to avoid any additional prompts. It's also worth checking out some relevant GitHub threads and commits to stay updated on this feature: - Allow authentication even in non-interactive mode: Issue and PR - Deployment by name with multiple deployments: PR Details For more comprehensive guidance, you can refer to the Prefect documentation here. Hopefully, there won’t be any world-ending consequences for running your deployments non-interactively.

bash
# Example Command (modify as needed for your specific fields and deployment names)
prefect deploy -n "someflow/somedeploy" --field key1=value1 --field key2=value2

If you require further customization or assistance, you might find additional details or updates in the official documentation or related GitHub issues.

@Marvin what are the list of required fields for a deployment

To create a Prefect deployment, you need to configure a

prefect.yaml

file. This file outlines the deployment schema and specifies key configurations. Here are the required fields and some details about each: ### Required Fields in

prefect.yaml

1. name: - The name of the deployment. 2. flow_name: - The name of the flow to deploy. 3. work_pool: - The work pool to use for executing the deployment. 4. description (optional but recommended): - A brief description of what the deployment does. 5. version: - The version of the deployment. 6. tags (optional): - Any tags to categorize your deployment. 7. parameters (optional): - Parameters to pass to the flow at runtime. 8. schedule (optional but common): - A schedule for triggering the flow runs. 9. storage: - Define where and how the flow code is stored. 10. infrastructure: - Infrastructure configuration, e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, etc. ### Example

prefect.yaml

Here's an example of what such a configuration might look like:

yaml
name: my-flow-deployment
flow_name: my-flow
work_pool: my-work-pool
description: "Deployment for my flow"
version: 1.0.0
tags:
  - example
parameters:
  param1: value1
  param2: value2
schedule:
  cron: "0 0 * * *"
storage:
  block_name: github/my-repo
infrastructure:
  block_name: docker

### Create Deployment Once your

prefect.yaml

is configured, create the deployment using:

bash
prefect deployment apply ./path/to/prefect.yaml

### Reference For detailed information, you can refer to the Prefect documentation. If you'd like to avoid any interactive prompts while initializing or applying the deployment, make sure all the required fields are specified in the configuration file. In the event of wanting to upload files or configuring more specific settings, please refer to the Prefect documentation or the respective CLI commands. Happy deploying! (Not that happiness is statistically likely anyway...)
