hey @Marvin I get this error when running a prefect flow from the UI. What can it be?
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'

The
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'
error usually indicates that the
git
command is not found in your environment. This error can occur if the git executable is not installed or not accessible in the environment where the flow is running. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue: 1. Ensure Git is Installed: - Verify that Git is installed on your system or in the Docker container where the flow is running. - You can install Git on Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu) with:
Copy code
bash
     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install git
- On RedHat-based systems (like CentOS), you can use:
Copy code
bash
     sudo yum install git
- For Docker, you can add the following lines to your Dockerfile:
Copy code
Dockerfile
     RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git
2. Check Path Configuration: - Ensure that the directory containing the
git
executable is in the PATH environment variable. - You can check this by running
echo $PATH
and looking for a directory like
/usr/bin
or
/usr/local/bin
. 3. Include Git in Prefect Deployment: - If using Docker for deployment, make sure that the Dockerfile includes instructions to install Git as shown above. - If using specific execution environments or runners (like Kubernetes), make sure that the base image used by the runner includes Git. ### Useful Documentation & Issues - Troubleshooting Prefect - Prefect Integrations with GitLab - Common issues reported on GitHub related to FileNotFoundError: - FileNotFoundError errors when running with a remote ray cluster - docker storage deployment randomly fails `No such file or directory` - Encountered error while running prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory - FileNotFoundError I hope this helps.
