Hi Everyone, i was using prefect 2.7.7 till now and decided to migrate to prefect 3.2. The first problem that occured to us is creating a deployment. earlier with prefect 2.7.7 we are creating deployment by below command.

prefect deployment build -sb "s3/inferencing-bucket" -n "algo.57" -q "algo-57" "algo-57.py:start_inferencing_57"

for prefect 3.2 i read in the documentation that we had run

prefect init

which will generate yaml file and then we need to run

prefect deploy

. but when i run prefect init in CLI it ask for gcs bucket name and when i write the bucket name it throws a below error.

? Would you like to initialize your deployment configuration with a recipe? [Use arrows to move; enter to select; n to select none]

Hi Nimesh! Can you put the stack trace of the error in this thread 🧵 ? It's a big block of text to have in the main slack channel. Please & thank you 🙏

Thanks bianca for resposne, I tried running the command that you gave. I encounter the following error.

prefect init --recipe gcs
                Required inputs for 'gcs' recipe
