01/31/2025, 12:00 AMextra_pip_packages option when using prefect deploy, which results in a ModuleNotFoundError. This issue does not occur when using prefect deployment build and prefect deployment apply.
From the GitHub issues, there are a few related problems that might give us some clues:
1. ModuleNotFoundError with Custom Images: There are reports of ModuleNotFoundError when using custom images or specific environments, often due to the package not being correctly installed or available in the runtime environment. The issue might be related to how the environment is set up or how the dependencies are managed during the deployment process (source).
2. KubernetesJob Block Limitation: The extra_pip_packages option is known to work with the DockerContainer block but not with the KubernetesJob block, which might be relevant if you're using Kubernetes for deployment (source).
To address this issue, you might want to:
- Ensure that the environment where the deployment is executed has access to the specified packages and that they are correctly installed.
- Verify the deployment configuration and check if the environment variables or setup scripts are correctly handling the installation of extra_pip_packages.
- Consider using a custom Docker image with the required packages pre-installed, especially if you are deploying to an environment like Kubernetes.
If the problem persists, you may want to follow up on these issues or consider opening a new issue if your case is unique. Here are some relevant links:
