Hi Guys, I am trying to run an agent on a remote machine, and any flow that I attempt to run gives the error ModuleNotFoundError("No module named 'C'") Note that this is even the case for example flows from Prefect's website and that the flows run normally when agent is run from same machine as prefect backend server or when fow is run as flow.run() locally in python

Can you post an example of the flow you’re trying to run?

Sure

from prefect import Task, Flow

class RunMeFirst(Task):

    

def run(self):

        

print("I'm running first!")

class PlusOneTask(Task):

    

def run(self, x):

        

return x + 1

flow = Flow('My Imperative Flow')

plus_one = PlusOneTask()

flow.set_dependencies(

    

task=plus_one,

    

upstream_tasks=[RunMeFirst()],

    

keyword_tasks=dict(x=10))

flow.register(project_name="JIGSAW")

So when you register the Flow, it’s being saved in a Storage. When the Flow runs, it retrieves it from the storage specified. If you don’t specify any, the default is

Local

in the

.prefect

folder in your home directory. When you register, this is getting saved there. When the agent picks up the flow, it looks for it in the Storage. It works when you run the agent locally because it goes to the

.prefect

folder and finds the flow. If you run the agent on a different machine, it will go to the

.prefect

folder but not find the flow. If you need the Flow to run on different machines, you can store it somewhere like

S3

or

Github

so that other machines can find it and pull it down

Alright got it ... excellent will give that a go

No problem! 🙂
