Hello Prefect community! Just a quick question: is there a simple convenience function to check if a flow has been successfully registered? (e.g.

flow.is_registered()

). Otherwise, is there a gist for using

prefect.client

and working with the graphql response? Thanks in advance

Hey @Chris L., quick answer is no. I think we can do it by hitting the GraphQL API easily. Just a few clarifying questions. What do you imagine this would check? Query for the existence of a flow with the given name and project? Also, what is the use case you’re trying? Prevent overwriting?

It is probably pedantic, but it's to check if 1. the flow (during testing) has been accidentally registered to the "prod" project instead of the "dev" project; 2. that the flow has in fact been registered (though perhaps it'll be better to catch any exceptions during

.register

instead)

I’m not sure this can be done because it would work for the first time around, but when you iterate over that flow and re-register and query for the existence in the prod project, you’ll always get a flow back, even if it’s an outdated version. Does that make sense?

Yeah this seems unnecessary on closer inspection. Thanks kevin!
