sup @Marvin where can i find prefect recipes to learn the best way to run mock tests for my prefect flows in a ci pipeline scenario

For setting up CI/CD pipelines to test Prefect flows, you can utilize GitHub Actions, which is well-documented in Prefect's guides. Here's a brief overview: Deploying Prefect Flows Using CI/CD - Use GitHub Actions to automate the deployment of Prefect flows. - Prefect supports two primary methods for creating deployments:

Flow.deploy

method or a

prefect.yaml

configuration file. - Your CI/CD pipeline can build and push Docker images containing your flow code to Docker Hub, then deploy it to Prefect Cloud. - Store sensitive information like

PREFECT_API_URL

and

PREFECT_API_KEY

as secrets in your repository for secure and non-interactive deployments. You can find detailed documentation here: CI/CD With Prefect Testing Prefect Flows - Prefect provides a context manager for unit testing which runs flows and tasks against a temporary local SQLite database. - Example using `prefect_test_harness`:

from prefect import flow
  from prefect.testing.utilities import prefect_test_harness
  
  @flow
  def my_favorite_flow():
      return 42

  def test_my_favorite_flow():
      with prefect_test_harness():
          assert my_favorite_flow() == 42

- This can also be used with `pytest`:

import pytest
  from prefect import flow
  from prefect.testing.utilities import prefect_test_harness
  
  @pytest.fixture(autouse=True, scope="session")
  def prefect_test_fixture():
      with prefect_test_harness():
          yield
  
  @flow
  def my_favorite_flow():
      return 42

  def test_my_favorite_flow():
      assert my_favorite_flow() == 42

- Scoping the fixture to the session level is recommended for efficiency. Detailed information on testing can be found here: Testing Prefect Flows A relevant code example can also be found below for concurrent tasks and flows: Pefect Tasks Example These resources should help with setting up and running CI pipelines while ensuring your Prefect flows are adequately tested.
