Hi all, I'm just starting with Prefect this weekend, and I can't seem to find the answer to a perhaps simple question: it looks like once I ran

prefect server start

once, I can no longer get the ephemeral server to come up when I test the flow. Upon some debugging, it looks like the presence of ~/.prefect/profiles.toml is causing that problem. Actively set the profile to "ephemeral" doesn't help. What is the right way of getting back to the initial state? Just delete the profiles.toml?

hi @Joe if you do a

prefect config view

you'll see which

PREFECT_API_URL

is currently being used and where its being set

If I start from scratch, I can run the flow with the ephemeral server.

prefect config view

shows:

pipeline git:(pipeline_pg) ✗ prefect config view                                      <aws:my-sso>
PREFECT_PROFILE='ephemeral'
PREFECT_SERVER_ALLOW_EPHEMERAL_MODE='true' (from profile)

hrm that sounds like a bug. can you open an issue for that?

What's the link to file a bug?

Will do

thanks! in the interim you've gotten it to work by setting the

PREFECT_API_URL

?

Only if I run a Prefect server. But for local development, that's cumbersome, so I just keep deleting

~/.prefect/profiles.toml

.
