Let me help you fix this error. The issue occurs because you're trying to use
with_options
directly on an async function instead of a Prefect task object. Here's how to correctly use
with_options
with async tasks:
Copy code
python
from prefect import task, flow

# First, create the task using the @task decorator
@task
async def my_async_task(x):
    # Your async task logic here
    return x * 2

# Now you can use with_options on the task object
modified_task = my_async_task.with_options(
    name="custom_name",
    retries=3,
    tags=["async", "example"]
)

@flow
async def my_flow():
    # Use the modified task
    result = await modified_task(5)
    return result
The key points to remember are: 1. Always use the
@task
decorator on your async function first 2. Apply
with_options
to the decorated task object (not directly to the async function) 3. The task object created by
@task
has the
with_options
method available Common options you can set with
with_options
include: - `name`: Custom name for the task - `tags`: List of tags - `retries`: Number of retry attempts - `retry_delay_seconds`: Delay between retries - `cache_key_fn`: Function to generate cache keys - `cache_expiration`: How long to cache results If you're still getting the error, make sure you're not trying to use
with_options
on: - A raw async function without the
@task
decorator - The result of awaiting a task (which would be a coroutine) Would you like to share your current code so I can help identify exactly where the issue might be?
