Prefect 
2.0.4
Hi all, I just upgraded from 
2.0b8
to 
2.0.4
. In 
v2.0b8
errors within flows/tasks were caught by Prefect and the flow would continue, now in 
2.0.4
they are being raised and crashing my run. How can I get back to the previous behavior? I’ll post my code in the thread
✅ 1
Code:
Copy code
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.task_runners import SequentialTaskRunner

@task 
def good_task():
    return True

@task()
def fail_task():
    raise Exception("Error raised for testing")

@flow()
def f1():
    fail_task()
    good_task()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    f1()

I can replicate the 
1/2 states failed/finished
state that I believe you are looking for:
Copy code
08:56:39.574 | ERROR   | Task run 'fail_task-d8c73196-0' - Finished in state Failed('Task run encountered an exception.')
08:56:39.587 | INFO    | Task run 'good_task-2a08f303-0' - Finished in state Completed()
08:56:39.612 | ERROR   | Flow run 'brown-mantis' - Finished in state Failed('1/2 states failed.')
by modifying the code like so:
Copy code
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.task_runners import ConcurrentTaskRunner

@task 
def good_task():
    return True

@task()
def fail_task():
    raise Exception("Error raised for testing")

@flow()
def f1():
    fail_task.submit()
    good_task.submit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    f1()
ConcurrentTaskRunner is no longer the default like it was in 2.0b8
j
Thanks @Serina, that helps a lot. It is now running the second task for me and reaching a finished state. But it is still raising the error after the flow runs. How do I get it to not raise on failure?
s
Since your flow finishes in a Failed state and since you are creating an Exception in fail_task() upon failure, it will raise the message you wrote within it, where in this case data is “Error raised for testing.” In the UI for the code above I see these logs:
Is that different than what you would expect to see?
j
I want the error to be caught and logged, and execution to continue.
s
Then you might consider using the logger instead of raising
Copy code
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.task_runners import ConcurrentTaskRunner
from prefect.logging import get_run_logger

@task 
def good_task():
    return True

@task()
def fail_task():
    logger = get_run_logger()
    if 2 < 4:
        logger.error(msg="A task failed")

@flow(task_runner=ConcurrentTaskRunner)
def f1():
    fail_task.submit()
    good_task.submit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    f1()
which would give you the following output:
Copy code

09:32:54.103 | INFO    | Flow run 'cerulean-bumblebee' - Finished in state Completed('All states completed.')
With the logs in the UI:
j
Here’s a modification to my sample code:
Copy code
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.task_runners import SequentialTaskRunner

@task 
def good_task():
    return True

@task()
def fail_task():
    raise Exception("Error raised for testing")

@flow()
def f1():
    fail_task()
    good_task()

@flow 
def f2():
    good_task()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    f1()
    f2()
    print('********  all flows complete  ***********')
And the desired output:

********  all flows complete  ***********
It’s not just anticipated errors that I want to catch, it’s any error. I just want my flows to run without crashing.

Hi @Jason Thomas, can you see if this produces the results you’re looking for?
Copy code
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.task_runners import SequentialTaskRunner

@task 
def good_task():
    return True

@task()
def fail_task():
    raise Exception("Error raised for testing")

@flow()
def f1():
    fail_task()
    good_task()

@flow 
def f2():
    good_task()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    f1(return_state=True)
    f2(return_state=True)
    print('********  all flows complete  ***********')

That worked on the sample. Testing on something more complex…
Yes, that is working. Thank you @Serina!!
