Flow could not be retrieved from deployment.
Can you help me?

The error "Flow could not be retrieved from deployment" typically occurs due to issues with accessing the flow's stored location during the flow run. Here are some potential causes and their corresponding fixes: 1. Incorrect Storage Path: - Ensure that the storage path specified in your deployment YAML is correct and accessible to the worker running the flow. - For local storage, verify that the path is absolute and correct. 2. Network Issues: - For remote storage (e.g., S3), ensure there are no network issues preventing access. 3. File System Issues: - Verify that there are no file system permission issues that might be preventing access. 4. Private Repository Access: - If your flow's code is stored in a private repository, ensure the access token provided has the required permissions to clone the repository. Example of a common scenario with S3 storage:
Copy code
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmp9pq0n7nsprefect/subdir'
This suggests an issue with the path configuration in the deployment manifest. Ensure the S3 bucket and path are correctly set and accessible. For local storage:
Copy code
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmp9pq0n7nsprefect/subdir'
Ensure that the path to the stored flow is correct and absolute. ### Further References: - GitHub Issue: Detailed case of this error with a private GitHub repository and local file system issues https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/8310 - Documentation on Deployments and Storage: - Concepts: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/deployments-overview/ - Integrations: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/integrations/prefect-gcp/deployments/steps/ Ensure all configurations are correct, and if the issue persists, consider providing more specific details about your deployment setup for more targeted troubleshooting.

so the last successful flow run for this deployment was in march. the deployment yaml has not changed since then. I thought it was due to the path="", but that seemed to work back in march. I changed the path to "/" this time, but that didnt fix it. here is more context

@Marvin does my previous reply change your answer?
m
No, your previous reply doesn't change the core aspects of the answer. The main points to check and fix remain relevant: 1. Storage Path: Ensure the path specified is correct and accessible. 2. Network Issues: Verify there are no network problems. 3. File System Permissions: Check for permission-related issues. 4. Private Repository Access: Ensure the access token provided has the required permissions. However, since you didn't provide additional context or changes, the key suggestions and links for more detailed information still hold. Here's a more concise version of the steps you should take: 1. Verify Deployment YAML: - Ensure correct and absolute storage paths. - Check access and permissions for any remote storage or private repositories. 2. Test Connectivity: - For remote storage like S3, test the network connectivity. 3. Permissions: - Make sure the worker has the necessary file system permissions. For specific troubleshooting: - Review the detailed case on GitHub: GitHub Issue 8310 - Check the Prefect docs on Deployments and Integrations.

@Marvin i confirmed that suggestions 2 through 4 are valid
m
Given that the error stems from the local file system, let's focus further on this scenario. 1. Double-Check Storage Path: - Ensure the path specified in your deployment YAML is correct. This should be an absolute path that the worker can access. 2. Storage Block Configuration: - Verify the storage block configuration. - Below is a sample configuration for local storage:
Copy code
yaml
storage:
  - block_type_slug: local
    attributes: 
      basepath: /absolute/path/to/your/flows
3. Deployment File: - Ensure that the
--path
specified while deploying matches the storage block location. - Example command:
Copy code
bash
prefect deployment build your_flow.py:flow_function --name your_deployment --storage-block local/your_storage_block --path /absolute/path/to/your/flows
4. Adjust Manifest: - If needed, adjust the manifest to reflect the absolute path. For further details: - Deployment and Storage Documentation: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/deployments-block-based/ - Storage Guide: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/deployment/storage-guide/ Validate these configurations, and if discrepancies are found, adjust them to ensure correct pathing and accessibility.

The traceback indicates that the
from_path
parameter in your deployment is empty, leading to a
FileNotFoundError
. This can happen if the storage path in your deployment YAML is not set correctly or is missing. ### Steps to Fix: 1. Check Deployment YAML: - Ensure that the
path
specified in your YAML is correct and not empty. 2. Verify Storage Block: - Check the configuration of the storage block you are using to ensure it is correctly set up. For example, if you're using a
LocalFileSystem
block, verify its
basepath
. ### Example Deployment Configuration: Your deployment YAML should look something like this:
Copy code
yaml
name: example-flow-deployment
description: An example deployment for flow
storage:
  - block_type_slug: local-file-system
    attributes: 
      basepath: /path/to/your/flow/code
path: /path/to/your/flow/code
### Create Deployment Command: Ensure you correctly specify the
--path
during deployment creation:
Copy code
bash
prefect deployment build your_flow.py:flow_function --name your_deployment --storage-block local/your_storage_block --path /path/to/your/flow/code
### Adjust Manifest if Needed: If the automatic deployment creation set an incorrect path, manually adjust the deployment manifest file (
deployment.yaml
) to reflect the correct path. ### Documentation and References: - Deployment and Storage Blocks: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/deployments-block-based/ - Storage Guide: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/deployment/storage-guide/ Ensure these configurations are correct, and it should resolve the
FileNotFoundError
due to an empty path.

what type of code storage are you using? is this in a docker image, or locally available code where your agent is running?
or is it in a git repo?

@Kevin Grismore I tried adding a trailing slash to the
path
but that didn't seem to work. The deployment as it is now worked back in march of this year. It no longer works as of today.
we did update from prefect 2.16.6 -> 2.20.2 inside of our docker containers, so im assuming that has something to do with it
@Marvin when a docker is created by the agent for a flow run, does the container download the flow code into the container, or does the agent/worker download the code into the container?
m
When a Docker container is created for a flow run, the worker (or agent in earlier versions) downloads the flow code into the container. This ensures that the container has access to the flow's required code and dependencies when it is executed. Here are the key details: 1. Flow Code Download: - The worker manages the retrieval of the flow code and places it inside the container. This is typically configured in the deployment manifest. 2. Docker Container Setup: - The Docker container will be configured to use the appropriate storage block, such as S3, local file system, etc. - The worker ensures the flow code is accessible within the container by using the specified storage block to retrieve the code. ### Example Process: 1. Create the Docker Image: - A Dockerfile specifies the environment and dependencies. - Example Dockerfile:
Copy code
FROM prefecthq/prefect:latest
     COPY . /opt/prefect/flows/
     WORKDIR /opt/prefect/flows/
2. Deploy the Flow: - When deploying the flow, specify the storage block and path. - Example command:
Copy code
prefect deployment build your_flow.py:flow_function --name your_deployment --storage-block local/your_storage_block --path /path/to/your/flow/code
3. Worker Downloads Flow Code: - The worker retrieves the flow code using the storage configuration, ensuring the code is present inside the container where the flow will run. Further details and full guide can be found here. Ensure the deployment YAML and Dockerfile are correctly set up to facilitate the seamless transfer of flow code into the Docker container. This guarantees that the code is available and executable when the container starts.
b
@Marvin does the bucket path tell the agent to download all the code in the given path? does the entrypoint tell the container which flow to run? what does the path do?
m
Here's the breakdown of each concept: ### Bucket Path and Code Download: - Bucket Path: This refers to the source location of your code within your storage (e.g., S3 bucket, local file system). - Download All Code: When the
get_directory
method is called, it downloads the contents of the specified path in the storage to the local directory. Example:
Copy code
python
  await storage_block.get_directory(from_path="path/to/your/code", local_path=".")
This copies all files from
path/to/your/code
in the bucket to the current working directory inside the Docker container. ### Entrypoint and Flow Execution: - Entrypoint: Specifies the location and function within your code that Prefect should run as the flow. - It uses the Python path-to-object syntax:
path/to/file.py:function_name
. - The worker/container uses this to locate the flow's entry function and execute it. Example in YAML:
Copy code
yaml
  entrypoint: path/to/flow.py:flow_function
### Path in Deployment Configuration: - Path: This refers to where the code is stored within your storage system. It must align with the
from_path
used in the storage block configuration. Purpose: - During Build: This specifies where the deployment code will be stored. - During Execution: It helps the storage block to retrieve and download the flow code to the worker/container environment. Example Command:
Copy code
bash
  prefect deployment build your_flow.py:flow_function --name your_deployment --storage-block local/your_storage_block --path /absolute/path/to/your/flow/code
### Practical Example: Here is a combined example that covers these concepts: 1. Deployment YAML Example:
Copy code
yaml
  name: example-flow-deployment
  description: An example deployment for flow
  storage:
    - block_type_slug: local-file-system
      attributes: 
        basepath: /path/to/your/flow/code
  path: /path/to/your/flow/code
  entrypoint: path/to/flow.py:flow_function
2. Deployment Command:
Copy code
bash
  prefect deployment build your_flow.py:flow_function --name your_deployment --storage-block local/your_storage_block --path /path/to/your/flow/code
By correctly setting the bucket path, entrypoint, and path properties, you ensure that Prefect knows where to get the code, which code to execute, and where to store or retrieve this code during deployment and execution. ### Additional Reading: - Prefect Deployments: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/deployments/ - GCS Integration: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/integrations/prefect-gcp/cloud_storage/ These configurations work together to ensure your flow runs smoothly within a Docker container or any other specified infrastructure.

@Blake Stefansen did you ever resolve this issue? I'm also getting the
Copy code
Flow could not be retrieved from deployment.
Its random when it happens but we are also using Kubernetes, and the code exists on the customer Docker Container image we are using so no code needs to be pulled in.
