Hi folks, we used the GCSResultHandler back in 0.7.3. We see it writing files into GCS, but how best to decode them for debugging? I tried base64 decode, but that doesn't seem to work right.

Hi @jars - the easiest way would be to use the

read

method of the handler itself which has the following logic: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/0.7.3/src/prefect/engine/result_handlers/gcs_result_handler.py#L103 In short, you

base64

decode + load via

cloudpickle

to get the python object. If you instead want to store the data in GCS using some other format (e.g., JSON, etc.) I highly recommend upgrading to 0.12.1 and using the

GCSResult

class which lets you specify both the location in GCS along with how the data is serialized (the default is still to use

cloudpickle

)

Very nice. I will try this.

👍 👍 anytime

it worked perfectly prefectly

haha amazing 😄
