so i got it to the serialisation to work with the LocalAgent

Question

so i got it to the serialisation to work with the LocalAgent but with a DockerAgent it gives ```Failed to load and execute Flow s environment TypeError an integer is required got type bytes ```

sark · Answer

is it wrong to use `LocalEnvironment` with the docker agent

Chris White · Answer

Hm no that should be fine can you share the environment code you used for your flow

sark · Answer

ah got it

sark · Answer

again it is python version <https hub docker com layers prefecthq prefect all extras 0 13 6 images sha256 3dfd0ac5f392a153bb04895de1f789df613a6e4ae5fccf605f10b8dba572e8b2 context=explore>

sark · Answer

looks like i must use 3 8 5 on my flow submitting client end

Chris White · Answer

ah that makes sense you can configure that in the Docker storage interface via the `python version` kwarg in this case specifying 3 8 should be sufficient the minor version usually has no impact

sark · Answer

awesome

sark · Answer

oh wait i am actually using GCS storage

sark · Answer

must i use docker storage when using docker agents

Chris White · Answer

Ah interesting nope but I assume you are specifying a Docker image via your environment metadata

sark · Answer

ah i am currently trying to execute a non docker flow with the docker agent

sark · Answer

or must i keep at least 2 agents one for docker and one for non docker

Chris White · Answer

Are you sure you aren t specifying `metadata` on your Environment The docker agent should raise an error if you don t have a configured image for it to use Either way if you add `metadata= image prefecthq prefect 0 13 6 python3 8 ` to your Environment initialization or some other appropriate image for your Flow that has all the necessary dependencies + the right version of python you should be good

sark · Answer

ah i was starting the agent with CLI ```$ prefect agent start docker l dev l docker l gcs flow storage```

sark · Answer

btw it is working now when i match the python versions
