@Marvin when I change the pull step for my deployments and redeploy, sometimes the old pull step is still there. do I need to do something special when deploying to change the pull step of my flows?

Which version of Prefect are you using? Could you let me know if it's 2.x or 3.x? This will help me provide the most accurate information and guidance for your situation.

2.x

When you update the pull step of your deployments in Prefect 2.x, it's important to ensure that your changes are correctly reflected in your deployment configuration and are being redeployed properly. Here's what you need to do: 1. Update Your Deployment Configuration: Make sure that you have updated the

pull

section in your

prefect.yaml

file. The

prefect.yaml

file controls the lifecycle of the deployment, including the pull steps which define how your deployment is executed in remote environments. Each step in the pull action should follow the format:

pull:
   - prefect_package.path.to.importable.step:
       id: "step-id" # optional
       requires: "pip-installable-package-spec" # optional
       kwarg1: value
       kwarg2: more-values

2. Redeploy with the CLI: After updating your

prefect.yaml

, use the CLI command

prefect deploy

to redeploy your changes. The CLI helps manage the deployment creation process through prompts but relies on the

prefect.yaml

for version control and multi-deployment management. 3. Verify Deployment Actions: Ensure that any referenced resources in your steps, such as cloud bucket paths or credentials, are consistent and correct. The

pull

step should not carry over old configurations if the yaml file is properly updated before redeployment. If you are following these steps and still experiencing issues, make sure that your CLI and agent are up to date, or you may refer to the Prefect documentation for further troubleshooting: Prefect Deployment Overview. If the issue persists, consider checking the Prefect GitHub issues to see if others have faced a similar problem. Let me know if you need help with any specific part!
