chmod +x your_script.py
2. Verify the script exists in the expected location
3. Ensure your deployment's service account has the necessary permissions
4. If using Docker, check that the file permissions are correctly set in the container
5. Verify that the command you're trying to execute is actually executable (not a directory or incompatible file type)
### General Debugging Tips
1. Always check the full logs, not just the error code
2. If using infrastructure like Docker or Kubernetes, verify the environment matches your expectations
3. Test the command locally first before running it through Prefect
4. Ensure all dependencies are properly specified in your requirements.txt or Dockerfile
5. If using custom images, verify that all necessary packages are installed during the build
If you're seeing these errors in a specific context or would like more targeted debugging help, please share more details about your setup and how the error is occurring.Aveek Duttagupta

# Set global logging level
export PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL="DEBUG"
# Set specific component logging levels
export PREFECT_LOGGING_FLOW_LEVEL="DEBUG"
export PREFECT_LOGGING_TASK_LEVEL="DEBUG"
2. Within Your Flow Code
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.logging import get_run_logger
@flow
def my_flow():
logger = get_run_logger()
logger.setLevel("DEBUG")
logger.debug("This is a debug message")
3. Using the Prefect CLI
bash
# Run a deployment with debug logging
prefect deployment run my-flow/my-deployment --log-level DEBUG
4. In a Deployment Configuration
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.deployments import Deployment
@flow
def my_flow():
pass
deployment = Deployment.build_from_flow(
my_flow,
name="my-deployment",
settings={"env": {"PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL": "DEBUG"}}
)
Available Logging Levels (from least to most verbose):
- CRITICAL (50)
- ERROR (40)
- WARNING (30)
- INFO (20) - Default
- DEBUG (10)
Tips for Effective Logging:
1. Use DEBUG level sparingly in production as it can generate large amounts of logs
2. Consider setting different levels for different components based on your debugging needs
3. Remember that logs in Prefect Cloud are retained based on your subscription plan
4. You can combine logging levels with log handlers to direct different levels to different outputs
When debugging specific issues, DEBUG level logging can provide valuable information about:
- Flow and task execution details
- Infrastructure setup and teardown
- State transitions
- API calls and responses
- Task retries and failures
Remember that increasing log levels will generate more detailed output, which can be helpful for debugging but may impact performance and storage if left at verbose levels in production.Aveek Duttagupta

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t your-image-name .
2. In Your Dockerfile
dockerfile
FROM --platform=linux/amd64 prefecthq/prefect:2-python3.9
# Rest of your Dockerfile...
3. Using Docker Compose
yaml
services:
flow:
platform: linux/amd64
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
4. Using Prefect's DockerContainer
python
from prefect.infrastructure import DockerContainer
docker_block = DockerContainer(
image="your-image-name",
platform="linux/amd64",
# other configurations...
)
5. During Image Build and Push
python
from prefect.infrastructure.docker import DockerImage
docker_image = DockerImage(
image_name="your-image-name",
platform="linux/amd64",
dockerfile="Dockerfile",
)
docker_image.build()
Best Practices:
1. Always explicitly specify the platform to avoid any ambiguity
2. Test the image on the target environment before deployment
3. Consider using multi-platform builds if you need to support multiple architectures
4. Verify the built image architecture using:
bash
docker inspect your-image-name | grep Architecture
If you're experiencing platform mismatch issues, you might see errors like:
standard_init_linux.go:228: exec user process caused: exec format error
This typically means you're trying to run an image built for a different architecture than your host system.
Remember that while building for a specific platform, your build machine needs to be capable of building for that target architecture, either natively or through emulation.
