Hi, does this look familiar?

Copy code

Failed to load and execute flow run: ModuleNotFoundError("No module named '/root/'")

I am running the Prefect Agent on a separate machine than the Prefect Server, but the communication works (The Flow starts on the Agent) Thanks!

this shouldn't happen in Prefect 2 if this is for Prefect 1, check this topic https://discourse.prefect.io/t/when-i-run-my-flow-i-see-an-error-failed-to-load-and-exe[…]derror-no-module-named-users-username-what-is-happening/33

Oh, I get it now, I should not use a Local Storage. Makes sense, thanks

And when you say it shouldn't happen in Prefect 2, what does that mean, that I am able to run the Agent on a different machine than where I registered the Flow without any other configuration?

in Prefect 2, we package both flows and code dependencies in remote storage blocks, which completely eliminates such errors

I'm considering switching to Prefect 2, even if I already wrote the code in 1. Do you advise?

100% yes, it will be absolutely worth it, and generally this is something you will have to do sooner or later since Prefect 2 is the LTS product
