Hi guys, How can I get the working directory or file path for Docker Run with GitHub Storage? I need to import some utilities from my repo, but I keep getting import errors.

Github storage is not meant for that because even if the repo is cloned, the path where the flow is running is different. We have had people try to add to the path but it hasn’t worked. I think there some options: 1. Make your Github library pip installable, then clone and pip install that yourself in the execution environment 2. DockerRun can take

EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES

in the

env

and the entrypoint will install it. I think you can pass a git repo link if pip installable.

@Kevin Kho Unfortunately that will not work as the repository has sensitive data and I can’t publish it on PyPI.

Does your org have a private repository like Artifact? Or you can do something like this

We don’t have Artifact. I have tried to add

<git+ssh://git@github.com/myuser/repo.git>

to

EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES

but the flow runs keep stuck on submitted.

How did you authenticate your agent? and you added the

setup.py

?

The agent is running with the `prefect agent docker start`and the setup.py is in the project/repo.

Ah ok sorry if that doesn’t work smoothly, we likely really need those dependencies inside the container as well. Some people use CI/CD to push their container when the repo changes and the the Flow will be responsible for grabbing it

How can I do that?

Which part? The CI/CD or putting the stuff in the container?

Adding the stuff in the container

The Docker here. For CI/CD, that is too involved for me to advice because it’s specific to your repo and set-up

Does Local Storage solve the problem?

Not Local Storage but LocalRun can solve it if all the dependencies are available on the execution side
