@Marvin I have a git_clone step in my deployment yaml. When trying to spin up a run for one of my apps, i am getting this ( retracted )

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'
prefect.deployments.steps.core.StepExecutionError: Encountered error while running prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone

Why is this?

The error you're encountering,

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git'

, suggests that the

git

command is not available in the environment where your Prefect deployment is running. This is likely because the environment lacks the necessary Git installation. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue: 1. Ensure Git is Installed: Verify that Git is installed and accessible in the environment where Prefect is running. You can do this by running

git --version

in the terminal. If it's not installed, you'll need to install it. 2. Environment Configuration: If you're using a containerized environment or a specific infrastructure setup, make sure that the base image or environment includes Git. You may need to modify your Dockerfile or setup scripts to include a step for installing Git. 3. Deployment Configuration: Ensure that your

prefect.yaml

file is correctly configured to handle the Git operations. If you're accessing a private repository, make sure you've set up the necessary credentials, possibly using a Secret block for security. 4. Use of Utility Steps: If your deployment involves running shell scripts, ensure that environment variables are correctly expanded, and the necessary tools (like Git) are available. For more details on configuring Git within Prefect deployments, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on infrastructure concepts and store flow code. If you continue to face issues, reviewing the environment setup or consulting with your infrastructure team might be necessary.
