from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.variables import Variables
import os
@task
def run_dbt_command(selects, exclude, dbt_schema):
# Set the environment variable before running dbt
os.environ["ENV"] = Variables.get("ENV")
# Your existing dbt command code here
b. Using Flow-level Environment Variables:
python
@flow
def your_flow():
return run_dbt_command.with_options(
env={"ENV": "your_environment"}
).submit(selects, exclude, dbt_schema)
c. If using Deployments, you can set environment variables in your deployment configuration:
python
from prefect import flow
@flow
def your_flow():
...
if __name__ == "__main__":
your_flow.from_source(
source="<https://github.com/your/repo>",
env={"ENV": "production"}
).deploy(name="your-deployment")
3. If using Kubernetes/Helm:
Since your error mentions "from helm chart basejobTemplate", you should:
- Add the ENV variable to your Helm values.yaml:
yaml
env:
- name: ENV
value: "production" # or your desired environment
- Or modify your Helm chart's deployment/job template to include the environment variable.
4. For local development:
You can set the environment variable before running your Prefect flow:
bash
export ENV=development
prefect flow run your-flow
The best solution depends on your specific setup and requirements:
- For development/testing: Use local environment variables
- For production: Use Prefect Variables or deployment configuration
- For Kubernetes: Configure through Helm values or manifests
Remember that environment variables set at the infrastructure level (like in Kubernetes) take precedence over those set in your Prefect code.Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities.
