method for tasks: When using the submit
method, failing tasks can run without stopping the execution of subsequent tasks. This is useful in asynchronous flows.
2. Task Retry Mechanism: Configure the retry_delay
and max_retries
parameters in the @task
decorator to retry failing tasks.
3. Handle exceptions explicitly: You can handle exceptions within the task itself to manage failures more gracefully.
Here's an example:
python
from prefect import task, flow
from prefect.task_runners import SequentialTaskRunner
@task
def always_fails_task():
raise ValueError("I am a bad task")
@task
def always_succeeds_task():
return "foo"
@flow(task_runner=SequentialTaskRunner())
def example_flow():
failed_task = always_fails_task.submit()
successful_task = always_succeeds_task.submit(wait_for=[failed_task])
example_flow()
For more details, you can refer to these resources:
