@Marvin How to test a task with pytest ? I access the original function of the task using `.fn`but i get the following error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prefect.pytest_plugins'

It looks like you can test individual tasks using
.fn
by following this approach: 1. Basic Unit Test: You can access the original function using
.fn
as follows:
Copy code
python
from prefect import task

@task
def my_favorite_task():
    return 42

def test_my_favorite_task():
    assert my_favorite_task.fn() == 42
2. Disabling Logger: If your task uses a logger, disable it to avoid `RuntimeError`:
Copy code
python
from prefect.logging import disable_run_logger

def test_my_favorite_task():
    with disable_run_logger():
        assert my_favorite_task.fn() == 42
The error
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prefect.pytest_plugins'
suggests you're trying to use something that doesn't exist in the Prefect module for pytest. The Prefect documentation doesn't mention anything about
pytest_plugins
. Therefore, avoid using it and follow the above examples for testing. For more information, you can refer to the Prefect Testing Guide: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/testing/ If you still encounter issues, ensure you're using the latest version of Prefect by upgrading it:
Copy code
pip install -U prefect
You can check the installation guide here: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/getting-started/installation/ Let me know if you need further assistance.
