In Prefect 3.x, re-running a single task after it has failed isn't directly supported as a standalone feature. However, you can achieve similar behavior using retries. Prefect allows you to configure retry logic for tasks, which can be useful if a task fails due to transient issues. Here's a brief overview of how retries work: - When a task fails, you can configure it to automatically retry based on certain conditions. - You can specify the number of retries and the delay between retries. - Custom retry behavior can be implemented using the
retry_condition_fn
argument, which allows you to define a callable that determines whether a task should be retried based on its state. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Prefect 3.x documentation on writing tasks. If you specifically need to re-run a task outside of the flow context after it has failed, you might need to manually trigger the task execution by creating a new flow run that includes only the failed task logic. For further exploration of the Prefect API, you can review the top-level offerings like
flow
,
task
, and
State
, which might help in custom implementations.
