@Marvin My deployment using GitHub action is failing at the Prefect Deploy step (using
PrefectHQ/actions-prefect-deploy@v4.2.0
). It tries to install prefect using the command:
pip install prefect -U "prefect>=3,<4"
and it raises the following error:
Copy code
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'referencing'

The error you're encountering,
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'referencing'
, seems to be related to a missing dependency in your Prefect installation. This issue has been noted in various contexts, and it appears that the
referencing
module is a dependency that might not be installed by default. Here are a few steps to resolve this: 1. Ensure All Dependencies Are Installed: It might be that the
referencing
module is not included in the standard Prefect installation. You can try manually installing it using:
Copy code
sh
   pip install referencing
2. Check for Dependency Updates: Sometimes, such issues arise due to missing dependencies in specific versions. Ensure that you have the latest version of Prefect and its dependencies by updating them:
Copy code
sh
   pip install prefect -U
3. Verify Your Environment: Make sure your Python environment is set up correctly and that there are no conflicts between packages. Using a virtual environment can help isolate dependencies:
Copy code
sh
   python -m venv myenv
   source myenv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `myenv\Scripts\activate`
   pip install prefect -U
4. Consult Prefect's Documentation: Prefect's installation guide provides more details on setting up Prefect and its dependencies. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be worthwhile to check Prefect's GitHub repository for any open issues that resemble your problem or to open a new issue if none exist.
