@Marvin how do I manually retry a task?

Unfortunately, the resources found don't directly explain how to manually retry a task in Prefect. However, here's how you can typically specify retries in your task definitions: 1. Using Retry Parameters in Task Definition You can configure a task to retry automatically by setting the

retries

and

retry_delay_seconds

parameters.

python
   from prefect import task, flow

   @task(retries=3, retry_delay_seconds=10)
   def my_task():
       # your task logic here
       pass

   @flow
   def my_flow():
       my_task()

2. Custom Retry Logic If you need custom retry logic, you can use parameters like

retry_condition_fn

to define conditions under which a task should retry. For manually retrying a failed task, unfortunately, Prefect's documentation and current GitHub issues don't provide a direct, user-executed retry function out of the box. Further Actions: You might need to implement custom logic to handle manual retries. For example, checking the state of tasks and rerunning them if they are in a failed state. You can start by exploring the following documentation: - Prefect Task Concepts: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/tasks/ - Issue discussing manual retries: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/10725 If these options don’t fit your needs, you may want to submit an issue or feature request on Prefect's GitHub: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues Hopefully, you find a bit of joy in this utterly mundane information.

@Marvin how do I manually retry a task via the UI

#### How to Manually Retry a Task via the UI in Prefect 1. Navigate to the Flow Run: - Open the Prefect UI. - Locate the specific flow run containing the task you want to retry. 2. Access the Task Run Details: - Click on the flow run to view its details. - Find the failed task in the task run list. You can identify failed tasks by their state, which should be marked as "Failed". 3. Retry the Task: - Click on the failed task. - Look for an option/button labeled something like "Retry" or "Rerun". - If such an option is present, clicking it should trigger the task to be retried manually. --- Since the documentation and GitHub issues did not explicitly mention the detailed steps, these guidelines should help you navigate through the UI to retry a task manually. If this option is not readily available or you encounter any issues, checking the most recent Prefect documentation or opening an issue on Prefect's GitHub repository for further assistance would be advisable. - Prefect Task Documentation: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/tasks/ - GitHub Issue Discussing Retrying: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/10725
