hey, is there a way to prevent prefect from writing what my tasks return to the results folder? I have checkpointing turned off, and config values in the task below return False.

@task(state_handlers=[post_task_fail])
def add_headers(headers: list, data: tuple) -> List:
    logger = prefect.context.get("logger")
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>(prefect.config.flows.checkpointing)
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>(prefect.config.tasks.checkpointing)

    return headers + list(data)

*edit: but -> and config values ...

Hey @Christian Eik, just trying to get more details. Do you have a Result configured? You have the

PREFECT__FLOWS__CHECKPOINTING=false

environment variable? Did you set it on the agent?

i added the following lines to my config.toml, which i use for all configuration. didn't change anything

[tasks]
    checkpointing = "false"

[flows]
    checkpointing = "false"

Ok will ask the team

ok, let me try that 🙂

Just making sure you know how,

@task(checkpoint-False)

ok, this did the trick

It gets overwritten no matter what

yeah, i saw that from some other thread

You lose the ability to retry from a specific point because that result is retrieved

hmm, i think that's ok in my case, will keep it in mind though 🙂
