Question

I m trying to run a Prefect Flow on a Docker Agent The agent is able to pull the image and complete the deployment of the flow run The flow progresses from `Scheduled` to `Submitted` state in the UI But there is no docker container that is ever spun up and the agent doesn t do anything Is there a checklist similar to this but for submitted state <https discourse prefect io t why is my flow stuck in a scheduled state 73>

Josh · Answer

The same flow runs on other agents and we are sure the labels are correct because the right Prefect docker agent picks it up to deploy the flow on the VM

Saw there was an article for submitted state but it did not help We are able to pull the image to the machine The agent process is running and says that it was able to deploy the flow

Josh · Answer

Solved Reran with the ` show flow logs` flag There was a fatal error on executing the flow that was not handled by Prefect We used `sys exit XXXX ` in our code instead of raising an error and the process exited without sending anything back to Prefect

What do you see as a bug here You shouldn t do sys exit within your task instead you can raise a <https docs prefect io core about prefect next steps html signals|signal> But if you think there is some bug here you can create a GitHub issue with label bug
