Hi all, trying to migrate my Prefect 1 GKE agent to Prefect 2 Orion and have it connect to Prefect Cloud. Followed the excellent demo on YouTube but when the pod starts up I get the following stack trace. I have tried 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 with different Python versions and I get the same error message back each time. Have also tried different ways to configure the kubectl secrets to see if that is the issue, wondering if others have run into the same issue?

Hey @Keith can you move the code block into the thread? I'm not particularly familiar with Kubernetes but there is an accompanying discourse article related to the video I think you're referring to that might offer some insight https://discourse.prefect.io/t/prefect-1-0-prefect-2-0-kubernetes-run-config-to-kubernetesjob-infrastructure-block/1229
c
Hi Keith, seems like the error itself is a json decoder error, where it’s expecting json, and not getting that.
Copy code
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Where does this error come up specifically ? when you run the kubectl apply? if so, what does your manifest look like?
k
@Mason Menges thank you, I watched and followed this video exactly and after running 
kubectl apply ...
the pod tries to start up and read the Prefect Cloud API secret setup with this command `kubectl create secret generic api-key --from-literal='prefect_cloud_api_key=<Prefect Cloud API Key>' -n prefect2`:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBLcLXulR9w▾

@Christopher Boyd Yes, after the 
kubectl apply
I suspect it is trying to read the secret as a JSON but it fails at doing so. I have tried many different combinations of defining the kubectl secret and always get the same JSON issue on deployment of the pod.

Sure thing - so based on what I see visible in your manifest. the key should be defined as:
Copy code
- name: PREFECT_API_KEY
            valueFrom:
              secretKeyRef:
                name: api-key
                key: prefect_cloud_api_key
kubectl create secret generic api-key --from-literal=‘prefect_cloud_api_key=<your raw api key here>’
k
kubectl create secret generic api-key --from-literal='prefect_cloud_api_key=<Prefect Cloud API Key>' -n prefect2
c
just to rule out potential syntax or copy/paste changing dashes and ’, I would recommend trying to type it out explicitly;
yep that looks right
k
Going to type it out explicitly right now, trying to clear out my old tests
c
I’m copying out your manifest now as well, and testing
k
c
This was using your manifest you just posted, and creating the key fresh as you see; the only thing that is off screen is my API key, but is something along the lines of: abc_abalkhet1235fsjlk2123
Ok - the only other options I can think of at the immediate moment are:
k
Basically the pod keeps trying to connect to remote and gets that JSON error
c
Is this your actual URL:?
Copy code
<https://app.prefect.cloud/account/><Account ID>/workspace/<Workspace ID>
or are you replacing that?
k
replacing it
Is it safe to post the whole thing?
c
when you switch to the agent ( I think those logs originage from the API container)
I don’t think you need to, you can withhold it
as long as it’s a valid workspace url - for context, my API logs look like this:
Copy code
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ _____    ___  ___ ___ ___  _  _
| _ \ _ \ __| __| __/ __|_   _|  / _ \| _ \_ _/ _ \| \| |

|_| |_|_\___|_| |___\___| |_|    \___/|_|_\___\___/|_|\_|

Configure Prefect to communicate with the server with:

    prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=<http://0.0.0.0:4200/api>

View the API reference documentation at <http://0.0.0.0:4200/docs>

Agent started! Looking for work from queue 'kubernetes'...
If that’s still not working for you, I would see if you could try a virtual environment with python 3.9? I can’t see anything else that stands out, and I used the manifest you provided to deploy this, so I don’t suspect any syntax errors
actually
one thing
k
It seems like the Orion server is up but the Agent continually retries
c
You have:
Copy code
<https://app.prefect.cloud>
👀 1
My agent is :
Copy code
<https://api.prefect.cloud>
k
I did try a different version and python, tried 
2.0.2-python3.9
& 
2.0.1-python3.9
c
I’d double check the API URL
k
Good eye, retrying
c
Yep - so
I kicked mine over to app:
Copy code
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/json/decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode
    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
An exception occurred.
I think it’s trying to pull that web-page for your UI login which is html or whatever (not really a front end so I don’t know exactly) instead of the API which is returning a json payload
k
That worked! I think I missed what was copied at 1:50 timestamp in the YouTube video
c
so it’s expecting a json payload at API but not finding it at APP
👍 1
but that’s a good call out - thank you for letting me know - what I can correct in that video / doc to make it better?
I just tested locally ; I have an idea. Without knowing what anyones API url might be, logging in returns the : “Use this workspace: 
prefect cloud workspace set --workspace "<workspace>"
When executed locally, that sets your API url, and can be displayed : 
prefect config view

k
This just helped me troubleshoot a follow up issue, definitely a good thing to know
what I can correct in that video
In the video I saw this:
Copy code
env:
          - name: PREFECT_API_URL
            value: <https://app.prefect.cloud/account/><>/workspace/<>
          - name: PREFECT_API_KEY
            valueFrom:
              secretKeyRef:
                name: api-key
                key: prefect_cloud_api_key
And missed that there was a API URL at the bottom, which is of the form 
<https://api.prefect.cloud/api/account/><>/workspace/<>
, I think I was just working on typing that template as you were talking and thats how I ended up with the API URL the way it is. I like your suggestion about the 
prefect config view

@Christopher Boyd thank you so much for the assistance! Now to test deployments!
