Hi everyone, I am using the Prefect Cloud server and trying to run from there a local agent. I authenticated in the CLI and also switched server backend to cloud. 1. I first execute my script by running

python3 get_medium_stats.py

in the terminal which executes these parts in the script…

flow.storage = Local(

path=os.path.abspath(python_file),

stored_as_script=True

)

flow.register(project_name="Social Media Automation")

flow.run_agent()

As expected I can see that the agent is running in the terminal. Checkin the cloud I can also confirm that the local agent is running:

AGENT ID: 1132a46f-8016-4880-b028-6616487a1785

Finally, also running

prefect get flows

shows the flow that I want to run:

fa7eb2ff-1220-44bd-b302-14fe7f8e3a22  Social Media Automation

However, the flow is stuck in submission and doesn’t execute. However I noticed when I stop the script/local agent in the terminal with

ctrl + c

at timestamp

[2020-11-14 22:49:50,984] INFO - agent | Keyboard Interrupt received: Agent is shutting down.

I can see in the logs in the cloud that the process now kicks off

23:49:52 Beginning Flow run for 'Medium Stats Scraper'

. So it seems that something is blocking the execution 🧐 I would very much appreciate any help, thanks!

Hi Felix, this looks like it would be better served as a GitHub issue; we try to avoid large walls of text in the main channel to prevent crowding out other conversations. Two things you might try in the meantime: - start the agent with

show_flow_logs=True

if using

flow.run_agent()

or

--show-flow-logs

if starting from the CLI - set

PREFECT__LOGGING__LEVEL="DEBUG"

to get more verbose logging output from your flow run
