Hi! I have defined a flow and can run it with

flow.run()

. However, these runs do not show up in the Prefect Dashboard, even when I

.register()

them (the flow shows up in the web interface and I can run it from there, but starting it with

.run()

does not show them as a Run). Is there a way to make them show up without running an agent?

Hi @Roy,

flow.run()

is for interactive or in-process use only and doesn’t communicate with the Server. In the future, we’ll make it possible to dynamically register/track runs from

flow.run()

but today you’ll need to register and kick off the run from the UI or API.

Thank you. I look forward to that! We run flows locally and only occasionally, but I love the web interface with the graphs and stuff 🙂

We hear you 🙂

I was thinking maybe I could expand the default

docker-compose.yml

to run an agent in a container along with the web interface, but this may be a hassle for us since this makes it more difficult to access files locally (which would require mapping volumes etc.). We use Prefect to transform a bunch of

csv

files.
