@Marvin I am new to prefect an I did all the steps of the gitHub read me the deployment and server is running and showing me logs in the terminal but the UI does not pick up any runs - it just stands at 0 runs even though a deployment is scheduled every minute. what could be wrong?

First, let's determine which version of Prefect you are using, as the steps to troubleshoot this issue might vary between versions. Could you please check whether you're using Prefect 2.x or 3.x? You can usually find this information in the

pyproject.toml

or

requirements.txt

file, or by running

prefect version

in your command line. Once we have this information, I'll search the relevant documentation and resources for possible solutions.

hi @Simon - if you're not using

.serve

(which doesnt require a worker) have you started a worker that will listen for / execute scheduled runs?

Version: 3.0.10 API version: 0.8.4 Python version: 3.12.6 Git commit: Built: Tue, Oct 15, 2024 1:31 PM OS/Arch: darwin/arm64 Profile: local Server type: server Pydantic version: 2.9.2

also just fyi marvin only responds if you do an app_mention (i.e. @Marvin) just saying hello, give a haiku about prefect workers

In Prefect's realm bright, Workers hum with silent grace, Flows in time take flight.

@Nate thanks, I tried it with a worker and even a worker pool and strted it with "prefect worker start --pool 'Test123'"

so im noticing now you said you followed the readme, does that mean that you ran this?

if __name__ == "__main__":
    github_stars.serve(
        name="first-deployment",
        cron="* * * * *",
        parameters={"repos": ["PrefectHQ/prefect"]}
    )

i.e. using

.serve

? in that case, you don't need a worker, that process will listen for scheduled runs

yes exactly I just tried the demo from the read me but it looks just like the UI is not connected to what is happening in the terminal

can you run

prefect config view

?

prefect config view 🚀 you are connected to: http://127.0.0.1:4200 PREFECT_PROFILE='local' PREFECT_API_URL='http://127.0.0.1:4200/api' (from env)

that makes sense! ok so when you go into the UI after running that

.serve

, do you see a deployment? do you see a deployment when you do

prefect deployment ls

?

on the terminal I see the 3 attempts I did, crating it with

prefect deploy

but on the UI it is still on "*Create a deployment to get started"* even though the schedule is currently running

oh! sorry I think you might be hitting a small related to recent setting changes that we just fixed and will release later today can you try the following? •

export PREFECT_UI_API_URL=<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>

• restart your server,

prefect server start

nice, now the UI is working thanks 😄

great! sorry about that - fix should go out for that in just a bit with

prefect==3.0.11

(i.e. setting the ui url yourself shouldnt be required)
