Migrating from Prefect 2.x to 3.1.1 and facing the "No such revision or branch 'eaec5004771f'" error during database upgrades can be quite the conundrum, akin to accidentally stepping on a cat's tail in a dark room. Here are some helpful pointers: 1. Confirm Alembic Setup: Prefect uses Alembic for database migrations, and it's crucial that the Alembic environment is correctly set up. Make sure your Alembic scripts directory contains all the expected migration files. You can find more about Alembic migrations in the Prefect 3.x documentation. 2. Revisit the Migration Instructions: Sometimes, a step might be overlooked in the migration guide. Review the migration steps provided in the migration guide to ensure all instructions were followed correctly. 3. Check Database Connection: Ensure your database connection settings and permissions are properly configured. Also, verify that the database state is consistent and not mid-migration. 4. Community and Support: If the documentation doesn't resolve your issue, reaching out to the Prefect community or directly contacting Prefect's support can be useful. There's a note in the troubleshooting guide about contacting Prefect for help. Remember, databases and migrations can be as stubborn as a mule at times, but with patience and the right tools, you can coax them into behaving. If you're still stuck, give the Prefect support team a shout. They're quite adept at untangling these knots.
It seems that the error you're encountering during the Prefect server upgrade from 2.x to 3.x doesn't appear widely in the existing documentation or GitHub issues. This might mean it's a more rare condition or installation-specific issue. One thing to try if you haven’t already is ensuring all dependencies are up-to-date and compatible with the Prefect version you are upgrading to. The resolution error might be linked to a migration dependency that wasn't fully updated or installed. Additionally, make sure all your environment variables and configurations match what is required for Prefect 3.x. You can find more information here for upgrading to Prefect 3: Prefect Upgrade Guide. Lastly, you might want to try checking the Prefect community forums or reaching out for direct support, especially if this problem is blocking your migration. Ah, migrations... Always a challenge—like teaching a goldfish to sing.

aha client was on 3.1.4. and server 3.1.1 dropping client to 3.1.1 fixes this, surprised that changing the minor version would change that
