hi guys with a prefect function task i can return a result simply with

return

like this:

@task
def start_job():
   return job_id

i was wondering if it was possible to do the same for a container task created with

CreateContainer

in my case what i am trying to do is to return the job id of the job started by that container, so that another task can use it to stop the job

Hey @sark by job do you mean a job that the container is creating itself? I don’t think there is a way natively in those tasks to retrieve data returned from that container but we encourage contributions to the task library! As a side thought you may be able to use some combination of

GetContainerLogs

and

WaitOnContainer

to get the information you want but other than that it would have to be implemented.

yeah a job (unrelated to prefect) the container is creating itself
