Hi all! I'm just getting into Prefect and trying to understand how everything works. I'm not starting a prefect project from scratch, but trying to build on top of the existing one (mainly working on fixes now). The issue I'm running into right now that I can't find the answer to online is that

ShellTask

is not logging all the outputs from the script that it's running. I am looking at https://docs-v1.prefect.io/api/latest/tasks/shell.html#shelltask and seems like just setting

stream_output=True

should do the job, but I'm still seeing just

Command failed with exit code 1

. I also tried setting

return_all=True

and

log_stderr=True

, but still the same behavior. Has anyone ran into this issue in the past?

Hey Nance, check out this older thread here. They ran into a similar issue and were able to get it resolved, lmk if this helps. About half way through the thread the ShellTask and exit code 1 is discussed. Also, if you are just starting out with Prefect, I would definitely recommend starting with the Prefect 2 version that we are running. Out of curiosity, is there anything that pushed you to work with the 1.0 version? https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1657031249118379

@Matt Conger thank you for the response. I'll take a look at that thread, thank you! About Prefect 1... I am not starting a new project, but fixing what's already there. I think it was initially set up about 2 years ago

Sound good! We have a ton of cool stuff in Prefect 2 that we've come out. As you get more into Prefect I'd highly recommend checking the new version out as well. Hope the thread helps out

Is Prefect 1 still being maintained? If so, I'd rather opt out of upgrading it to Prefect 2 at this moment since my team and I are in a time crunch and are trying to do just absolutely necessary stuff right now.
