Prefect Community

I'm getting "Skipped (metadata unchanged)" upon registering a flow that I've updated (as in, the source code has changed, and is being ignored.

prefect register --project proj_name -p /path/flow.py -n mesh_to_glb

Hey <@U013XTS1ZT8> -- if the structure of the flow doesn't change, there is no change in the metadata that is sent to Cloud so it is 'skipped'

Hey <@U013XTS1ZT8>, added to Michael’s comments, if you change the executor from LocalExecutor to DaskExecutor, that is not saved in the metadata also.

I'm running the flow on a server hosted by me (locally) - this is considered "Cloud" ?

For this purpose they would behave the same yep.

I'm addling <http://logging.info|logging.info> within tasks, and I'm not seeing these logging events, the version remains at 1

well, actually more than that, I've changed functionality of the source. I guess I don't understand why this is considered to not have changed.

It’s about the change in `flow.serialized_hash` so if you add code to the task, it doesn’t affect the serialized hash because Prefect only stores the metadata , and not the actual code. You can force registration though with:

`prefect register --force ...`

ok -
```--force```
did the trick -thanks!
