I see the issue. The command you're trying to use (

--prefect-file

) isn't the correct syntax for either Prefect 2.x or 3.x. Let me help you with the correct approach: 1. For Prefect 2.x (your version), you have two options: a. Using

prefect deployment build

(traditional method in 2.x):

bash
   prefect deployment build path/to/your/flow.py:flow_name -n deployment_name

b. Using

prefect deploy

(newer method, similar to 3.x):

bash
   prefect deploy path/to/your/flow.py:flow_name

The

--prefect-file

option you're trying to use doesn't exist. Instead, you should: 1. Either specify the path to your flow file and the flow function directly in the command 2. Or use a

prefect.yaml

file in your project directory (not

prefect_w.yaml

) if you want to use a configuration file approach Could you share: 1. The structure of your flow file 2. What you're trying to accomplish with the deployment This will help me provide you with the exact command you need. Also, since you're using Prefect 2.x, I'd recommend considering upgrading to Prefect 3.x, which has a more streamlined deployment process and improved features.

For Prefect 2.x (your version), if you have a

prefect.yaml

file in your project directory, you should use:

bash
prefect deploy

That's it! The command will automatically detect and use the

prefect.yaml

file in your current directory. Make sure: 1. Your

prefect.yaml

file is named exactly

prefect.yaml

(not

prefect_w.yaml

) 2. You run the command from the directory containing your

prefect.yaml

file If you want to deploy all flows defined in your yaml file, you can use:

bash
prefect deploy --all

Note that the

--no-prompt

flag you were trying to use isn't necessary in this context, as the deployment process will use the configuration from your yaml file. Would you like me to help you verify the structure of your

prefect.yaml

file to ensure it's correctly formatted? If so, you can share its contents, and I can help you validate it.
