@Marvin, I'm trying to start my prefect worker pool on a Debian VM and when I start the service, it hits a restart loop with the following error: Started prefect-worker-agent.service - Prefect Worker Service.

@Marvin here's teh error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/prefect/prefect_env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/prefect/cli/_utilities.py", line 44, in wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ....

This error indicates a

JSONDecodeError

, which occurs when attempting to decode an empty string or a malformed JSON string. In the context of Prefect, this might be related to a configuration or response that is expected to be in JSON format but isn't correctly formatted or is completely empty. To resolve this, consider the following steps: 1. Check Configuration Files: If there are any JSON configuration files that Prefect is using, ensure they are correctly formatted and not empty. 2. Inspect API Calls: If your Prefect setup involves API calls that return JSON, ensure these calls are functioning correctly and returning valid JSON responses. 3. Review Environment Variables: Sometimes, environment variables might be used to pass JSON strings. Double-check their values for correctness. 4. Update Prefect: Ensure you are using the latest version of Prefect, as bugs are frequently fixed in newer releases. 5. Debugging: Add debug logs around the code where JSON decoding is happening to capture the exact string being decoded. If you need more specific guidance, I can look for related issues or documentation. Let me know if you want me to do that.
