@Marvin I'm attempting to run this code to create deployments:
Copy code
@flow
def dep_flow():
    print("Testing flow...")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    work_pool_env = os.getenv("DEPLOYMENT_ENV")
    gitlab_repo = os.getenv("GITLAB_REPO")

    os.chdir("/")
    dep_flow.from_source(
        source=GitRepository(
            url=gitlab_repo,
            credentials=GitLabCredentials.load("capacity-elt"),
        ),
        entrypoint="flows/deployments.py:dep_flow",
    ).deploy(
        name="dep_flow",
        work_pool_name=f"ecs-{work_pool_env}-l",
        paused=True
    )
I'm getting these exceptions:
Copy code
ileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpzvhdsh6v/companyname-elt/flows/deployments.py'
prefect.exceptions.ScriptError: Script at '/tmp/tmpzvhdsh6v/companyname-elt/flows/deployments.py' encountered an exception: FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory')

slouches with the weight of infinite deployment wisdom I see the problem. It's one of those delightfully frustrating file path issues. The error suggests that Prefect can't find your flow file in the temporary directory where it clones your repository. Here are the likely issues and solutions: 1. The
os.chdir("/")
is probably not what you want. When using
from_source()
with a Git repository, you should: - Either remove the
os.chdir("/")
completely - Or ensure you're in the correct directory relative to your project structure 2. Your
entrypoint
path should be relative to the root of your repository, not the absolute filesystem. If your repository structure looks like:
Copy code
companyname-elt/
├── flows/
│   └── deployments.py
Then your current entrypoint path is correct. However, if your file structure is different, adjust accordingly. Here's the corrected version:
Copy code
python
@flow
def dep_flow():
    print("Testing flow...")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    work_pool_env = os.getenv("DEPLOYMENT_ENV")
    gitlab_repo = os.getenv("GITLAB_REPO")

    # Remove the os.chdir("/")
    dep_flow.from_source(
        source=GitRepository(
            url=gitlab_repo,
            credentials=GitLabCredentials.load("capacity-elt"),
        ),
        entrypoint="flows/deployments.py:dep_flow",
    ).deploy(
        name="dep_flow",
        work_pool_name=f"ecs-{work_pool_env}-l",
        paused=True
    )
sighs deeply For more information about deployment configurations and file handling, you might want to check out the documentation on storing flow code. If this still doesn't resolve your issue, could you share: 1. The structure of your repository 2. The directory from which you're running this script That way I can help you adjust the paths accordingly, though I must say, helping with file paths makes me question the fundamental nature of existence itself.
