Hi - Is there a way to

pass

on a if else branch?

Hi @itay livni, could you give a little more detail on what you want your workflow to do when that

pass

happens? You can absolutely make a task that does nothing but

pass

, in which case it will return a

Success

state to any downstream tasks containing no result.

something like this...

I think I see — you’ll need to change how you write code in Prefect. The code you’ve written is as if your task results are known (for example

x_lst.value_count().max()

). In Prefect, task results are not known until the flow is run, and consequently all operations — including things like

some_str is "short"

— must happen inside the

run()

method of a

Task

object.

so the test statement i.e

termsense_stat_response["min_num_term_senses"]>1

has to be a task? Here is an implementation of what I am trying to do in an aws state machine

Yes, every operation in Prefect must be a

Task

. In this case, you could use an

ifelse

to run

task1

if the condition is true, or

task2

if the condition is false. You could also call

task2.set_upstream(task1)

. This way task 2 will always run, but task 1 will only run if the condition is met.
