It is possible to create the tasks in a separate file and import everything just to run in one flow? The idea is that something changes, i would be able to see directly on Git which file has changed. I tried to do on my end, but the task didn’t ran.

@Guilherme Petris it’s much easier if tasks are defined together with a flow, but importing them is also possible. But to deploy such flow to the backend, you would need to make sure that those tasks can be imported, e.g.: 1. Use Docker storage (with Docker based agents) to ensure task files are copied to the storage 2. Provide a path when using a Local agent 3. or build a package containing those tasks as module and install in the execution env

Interesting - i’m trying to run locally and i’m getting the ModuleNotFoundError: No module name “x” even though that i already added

__init__.py

inside the folder and apparently i can’t import the tasks separately. Have to put everything in the same folder basically.

Gotcha. I think with local agent this should be quite straightforward, because you can simply add a path to your modules in the LocalRun:

from prefect.run_configs import LocalRun

with Flow("yourflow", run_config=LocalRun(working_dir="/path/to/your/modules")) as flow:

or add it when starting the agent:

prefect agent local start -p /Users/you/your_modules

Well, it still doesn’t work - My folder structure: Pendo (ROOT) ----flows --------prefect_flow ----pendo_tasks --------task1 When i try to import from pendo_task i get the moduleerror saying that There is no module called pendo_tasks (it’s just a folder, even thhough that i try to do

from pendo_task import task1

can you zip and share your project? I would try to reproduce. Just redact anything sensitive

@Anna Geller Hi, was this resolved, I am also facing similar issue. Any resolution here? While running flows, I am getting

ModuleNotFoundError

for imported modules from the same project directory. How to handle such imports?

project
|_lib
   |_ util.py
   |_ common.py
|_flows
   |_ flow1.py // imports util etc here which is throwing error
   |_ flow2.py
