Hi guys, I am trying to use Kubernetes

RunNamespacedJob

tasks in my flow. I installed Prefect using

pip install "prefect[kubernetes]"

, but when I try to run my flow i get `ImportError: Using

prefect.tasks.kubernetes

requires Prefect to be installed with the "kubernetes" extra.` . I also tried directly from source, cloning the git repo and running

pip install "./prefect[kubernetes]"

but I get the same result...

Hi @thebuleon29, I just tried this in a new environment and it installs correctly. What agent are you using? Local? Are you running the agent from the same Python environment?

Hi, I am not using an agent, just the

prefect run

command (

prefect run -p ./k8s_flow.py

). I can run other flows this way, even without the agent. Even when I try to launch the server and run the agent I get the same error when running

prefect register --project test -p ./k8s_flow.py

I don't think that it changes anything, but I still should precise that I am running Prefect in a Docker container.

It also sends this error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'client' from partially initialized module 'kubernetes' (most likely due to a circular import) (/usr/prefect/dags/kubernetes.py)

. I import like this:

from prefect.tasks.kubernetes.job import RunNamespacedJob

Ok sorry, that one is on me. There was another file in the directory called 'kubernetes.py' that was causing the error. It had nothing to do with Prefect.

Glad you figured it out 👍
