Question

I ve attempted the solution in <https prefect community slack com archives CL09KU1K7 p1661780834915459> However the regular Python logger will now raise ```prefect exceptions MissingContextError Logger dystematic pdbt ftp attempted to send logs to Orion without a flow run id The Orion log handler can only send logs within flow run contexts unless the flow run id is manually provided ``` This isn t covered in the post nor the docs The reason I want to use the regular Python logs is because I cannot use the Prefect one when launching from the console as I get ```RuntimeError There is no active flow or task run context ```

Hello Jose to avoid the you describe above you need to set your logger and add your logs exclusively within tasks flows and subflows using `get run logger` This may be helpful for you

The article and the others I have been pointed to did not solve my issue I know I need a flow run to get the logger and that is part of the issue I depend on libraries that use the regular logging system and I need them to work I cannot change them to receive a custom logger neither I want to write my system around passing the logger to every single function that needs logging There is something clearly failing in the communication between me and the Prefect engineers so I will try to make this as clear as I can I have an FTP client which does some logging info on the download status warnings on message failures and debug when necessary This client has nothing to do with Prefect thus it should not use the Prefect logger neither it should require me to pass it If I do not set the `PREFECT LOGGING EXTRA LOGGERS` variable described in the blog post but not explicitly in the documentation the flow runs fine but does not output logs If I do set the `PREFECT LOGGING EXTRA LOGGERS` variable to the package s I want to log I will Get the logs as expected A `UserWarning` ``` Users lt REDACTED gt ftp py 83 UserWarning Logger dystematic pdbt ftp attempted to send logs to Orion without a flow run id The Orion log handler can only send logs within flow run contexts unless the flow run id is manually provided ``` On download of the second file an error which effectively stops the flow from progressing ```prefect exceptions MissingContextError Logger dystematic pdbt ftp attempted to send logs to Orion without a flow run id The Orion log handler can only send logs within flow run contexts unless the flow run id is manually provided ``` However If I set the variable to `PREFECT LOGGING EXTRA LOGGERS = snowflake` Snowflake s logs work and I doubt their connector is importing Prefect s `get run logger` I ve read Furthermore it s the second time I get sent an article and my issue is marked as solved or whatever white check mark means without any reply from me I still need time to read evaluate and test the solution offered in the article marking the issue as solved does not help me nor anyone that might read it in the future cc ing < Bianca Hoch> < Jeff Hale>

Hi < José Duarte> Excellent point regarding white check mark and we should probably clarify what that means We use this emoji not to mark that some issue has been fully resolved on the user s end only the user can judge that but rather to signal to everyone else reading this thread that someone from the community or from the Prefect s team read this thread and provided enough level of guidance pointing the user in the right direction to solve their issue on their own Ideally if the question or issue is defined precisely enough and provides a Minimal Reproducible Example MRE we can help you solve the problem in a single response Our community is growing so quickly that we don t have the capacity for detailed long 1 1 conversations if you need that level of guidance we offer a paid support service you can reach via The scope of community support is meant to point the users in the right direction to solve their issues on their own which is what the checkmark indicates Thank you for asking this question We should have clarified it before starting to use this emoji

Regarding the error you are getting ```MissingContextError Logger dystematic pdbt ftp attempted to send logs to Orion without a flow run id ``` This shows that you are using a non Prefect logger Could you try switching to Prefect logger this way ```from prefect import get run logger logger = get run logger ```

Anna Geller · Answer

and regarding the root cause of your problem I totally understand the pain and we address it with a context manager in this PR once this is merged you should be able to disable Prefect logger in unit tests and other situations when you need to suppress it ```import prefect from prefect import task flow get run logger from prefect logging loggers import disable run logger task def your task logger = get run logger Prefect Version = s prefect version flow def hi your task if name == main with disable run logger your task fn ```

< Anna Geller> I cannot switch as the FTP client is not supposed to depend on Prefect I ve since fixed the issue although I have no clue how My guess was that there was an issue wrt to threading and switched the code to do the network calls from the main thread instead of a secondary one That seems to have fixed but again I have no clue why this fixed the issue
