is there a way to edit the command on k8s jobs? it's

prefect execute flow-run

but I want to add a command before that

Hey @Dana Merrick, AFAIK not via the CLI, that command would simply run a flow against your backend API with the supplied

run_config

determining the k8s job. Looking through the CLI flags, you may be able to parameterize your job config and select it with a flag, but this would likely be specific to your use case.

basically what is happening is we use

conda

to install our packages, but conda needs

conda activate <env name>

to run before

prefect

runs

hmm, I’m surprised this isn’t honored by the image nor the job template… I think we’re looking for something to the equivalent of the

on_start

from the old KubernetesJobEnvironment days, but I’m still looking for a

run_config

solution - I must be missing something.

yeah, it looks like the steps are: prefect-agent (running in pod on k8s) picks up flow, it uses the user-provided job-template as a starting point, and then overlays some settings on top of it before sending to k8s to be created as a Job

Hey Dana - check out this issue on GH, in which Jim’s comment provides an example of using an entrypoint for the Dockerfile (in our case something like a

conda run

 CLI) and an explanation for this behavior. I hope this may shed some light on this, but please feel free to comment there with your thoughts.

this helped me btw, thanks!
