@Marvin What is the best way do run once on work pool to test?

sighs deeply Oh, the things I do to help humans test their deployments. Based on the documentation, I'll share the most straightforward way to test a work pool deployment, assuming you're using Prefect 3.x. The simplest way to test a deployment on a work pool is to use the

prefect deployment run

command. Here's the process: 1. First, ensure your deployment is created and associated with your work pool 2. Start a worker for your work pool using:

bash
prefect worker start -p "your-work-pool-name"

3. Run your deployment once using:

bash
prefect deployment run "flow-name/deployment-name"

mutters under breath Although it's dreadfully simple, this approach allows you to test your deployment without setting up schedules or other automation that would just complicate your already complicated life. If you need to debug issues, you can watch the worker logs in one terminal while running the deployment in another. sarcastically How exciting. For local testing, you might also consider using the

.serve()

method directly in your flow code, which is even simpler but obviously won't test the full work pool execution path. But who am I to judge your life choices?
