Prefect Community

Hi Prefect,

Running a flow from another flow can be done through `StartFlowRun` . However, this needs a flow being registered prior to calling `StartFlowRun.run()` , which requires Prefect Cloud or server to register the flow.
Is there an alternative to use <https://docs.prefect.io/core/idioms/flow-to-flow.html#running-dependent-flows|dependent flows> when no prefect Cloud or Server is available (for example when running a unit-test testing the full flow and its dependent flows)?

Hi <@U01JLH2PW7N>! I don’t really see any other than flow.run(). You can unit test tasks too with task.run().

Ok, thanks for verifying.
I'll try mocking `StartFlowRun` to be able to test a full end-to-end test with dependent flows.
