Hi guys, porting my code to prefect 2.0 and I have got it running local, but when creating a deployment to run it on an agent I'm getting this error on the UI. Deployment cmd:

PYTHONPATH=/home/alburati/Proyectos/pipeline/src prefect deployment build src/sources/biorxiv/flows/biorxiv_main_flow.py:biorxiv_main_flow -n 'source_flow' -t source_work

Error:

Flow could not be retrieved from deployment.

Any suggestions?

Hello Ian, could we get a minimally reproducible example? That'll help us with troubleshooting.

Hi Blanca, constructing my example found that in my original conda enviorment I installed prefect with

pip install

, correcting this and installing with

conda install -c conda-forge prefect

removed the error.

Hooray! Glad it's working now.

@Khuyen Tran @Bianca Hoch I am getting this error also, but I prefer to work with pip install and not conda install. Pls any suggestions I can follow to fix this also? Python version: 3.7.9 Prefect version: 2.0.4, I was using the leo_flow example here: https://docs.prefect.io/tutorials/deployments/

Great job finding out the solution Segun!
