Prefect Community

:wave:
My flow is a part of a python package and uses utility functions which are also a part of the package (e.g. `projname/flows/myflow.py` imports `projname.utils.utilfunc`).
This flow is scheduled from a deployment and uses `Process` as its infrastructure block.
I would like to ensure that the latest version of `projname` is installed (to guarantee that `utilfunc` is up-to-date), so I can't install the package when setting up agent environment.
I think I can install the package before running the flow if I set `Process.command` to something like `["pip", "install", ".", "&amp;&amp;", "python3", "-m", "prefect.engine"]`, but maybe there's a better way to go about it?

that sounds like a good approach to me. Is there a reason why you don’t want to set up the command that way?

No reason, just checking in case I'm missing something :slightly_smiling_face:

Finally got around to trying it, can't find a way to make it work.
~I don't think there is a way to execute multiple commands without setting `shell=True`.~
~anyio sets `shell=True`~ ~`if isinstance(command, str)`, but currently command is restricted to `List[str]`.~

Looking at it a bit further, I don't think this could possibly work ~even if you could pass a proper command.~
I thought code gets fetched somewhere in Infrastructure block, but it actually gets fetched by `prefect.engine`.
So there's no way to do something that involves source files before running `python3 -m prefect.engine` and I don't think there's a way to modify what happens there.
Welp.

Do you mean that the command `["pip", "install", ".", "&amp;&amp;", "python3", "-m", "prefect.engine"]` doesn’t work?

Disregard the first part of the previous comment.
The way to go about executing multiple commands with `shell=False` is `command=["/bin/bash", "-c", "cmd1 args1 &amp;&amp; cmd2 args2"]`
Doesn't really solve my problem, but figured that out at least.
