@Marvin I’ve used the prefect CLI wizard to deploy the following flow to the prefect managed worker pool using a github remote source I keep getting exited code 1
Copy code
from prefect import flow, get_run_logger

@flow
def master_flow():
    logger = get_run_logger()
    logger.setLevel("DEBUG")

    logger.debug("Starting sync from Airbyte")
    return "hello"

The issue of receiving an "exit code 1" when deploying your flow to a Prefect managed worker pool using a GitHub remote source can be quite vague. Here are a few possibilities and steps to troubleshoot the problem: 1. Missing Dependencies or Configuration: Ensure that all necessary dependencies are specified and installed. Check if there are any missing configurations or environment variables that might be required by your flow. 2. Error Logging: The Prefect UI might not display the specific error causing the exit code. Check the worker logs for more detailed error messages. This might give you insight into what exactly is causing the flow to crash. 3. Flow Code Issues: Make sure that your flow code is correctly synced and accessible from the GitHub repository. The flow code must be present and correctly referenced in your deployment configuration. 4. Prefect Version: Ensure that you're using a compatible version of Prefect. There have been issues reported in Prefect 3.x where the UI logging does not reflect the real error. Consider checking the logs directly from the worker for more accurate error messages. 5. GitHub Remote Source Configuration: Verify that the remote source is correctly configured. Ensure that the repository URL and the flow entry point are correct. For more details on deploying using remote storage, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on deployments. If you need further assistance, examining the detailed logs from the worker might provide more clues. If the issue persists, consider reaching out on the Prefect GitHub repository for community support or reporting a bug if it seems to be an issue with Prefect itself.

@Marvin what pip packages should I configure in the perfect:managed workpool to retrieve the code from github?

To retrieve code from GitHub using a Prefect managed work pool, you generally don't need specific pip packages for the GitHub integration itself, but you should ensure that your environment is set up to handle Git-based storage. Here are the steps and considerations: 1. Git Installation: Ensure that Git is installed in the environment where the Prefect worker is running. This is necessary for cloning repositories. 2. Authentication: - For public repositories, you can directly use the repository URL. - For private repositories, you need to authenticate. You can use a Personal Access Token (PAT) for this purpose. It's recommended to use HTTPS with fine-grained PATs to limit access by repository. You can store these credentials using Prefect's Secret block or a credentials block specific to your Git platform. 3. Environment Configuration: - If using a private repository, set up the necessary environment variables or configuration files to store your credentials securely. 4. Prefect Configuration: - If using Prefect's deployment features, you can reference your Git repository in the deployment configuration using a
GitRepository
object or directly in the
prefect.yaml
file for public repositories. For more details on setting up Git-based storage with Prefect, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on storing flow code. Remember to ensure that your Prefect worker environment is capable of executing Git commands and has access to the necessary credentials for private repositories.
