@Marvin when running a flow on prefect cloud from my command line how can I configure arguments is there something yaml based / typer based etc.?

To configure arguments for running a flow from the command line, you can use
Typer
or
argparse
for local execution. For configuring deployments, you typically use YAML. Here's an example of using
argparse
for local execution:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow
from argparse import ArgumentParser

@flow
def my_flow(argument1, argument2):
    print(f"Argument 1: {argument1}, Argument 2: {argument2}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument("--argument1", required=True, help="First argument")
    parser.add_argument("--argument2", required=True, help="Second argument")
    
    args = parser.parse_args()
    my_flow(args.argument1, args.argument2)
For configuring deployments, you use a
prefect.yaml
file. Example:
Copy code
yaml
deployments:
- name: my_deployment
  entrypoint: my_module:my_flow
  parameters:
    argument1: default_value1
    argument2: default_value2
For more detailed guidance, refer to Prefect documentation. Remember that deploying with
prefect deploy
requires the
--all
flag to include all deployment specifications from your
prefect.yaml
. Consider the provided example for basic use cases. If you run into specific issues or errors, checking GitHub Issues is also a helpful resource.
