@Marvin I have a flow that has been running for a while now. I'm just starting to get this error:
Copy code
"prefect.state-message": "Submission failed. KeyError: \"No class found for dispatch key 'ecs-task' in registry for type 'Block'.\"",
please help to start debugging

Yes, the command syntax is correct. After running these commands, your ECS Task block should be properly registered and available for use. If you continue to see the error after following these steps, please let me know and we can investigate further. It would be helpful to know: 1. Did you previously have
prefect-aws
installed and working? 2. Have you made any recent changes to your Python environment or dependencies? 3. Are you running this in a container or on a local machine?

@Marvin 1. yes, prefect-aws was installed and working 2. no changes to python env 3. container

Based on the recent GitHub issues and your context, I can see a few potential issues at play. Let me break down the debugging steps based on what's most likely causing your specific error: 1. Most Likely Cause: Block Registration Issue in Container The error
KeyError: "No class found for dispatch key 'ecs-task' in registry for type 'Block'."
suggests that the ECS Task block registration was lost or failed in your container. This can happen if: - The container was restarted and block registration didn't persist - The
prefect-aws
package was somehow unloaded or corrupted - There's an issue with the container's Python environment 2. Immediate Fix: Inside your container, run:
Copy code
bash
   # First verify the package is still installed
   pip list | grep prefect-aws
   
   # Then re-register the blocks
   prefect block register -m prefect_aws
3. Container Persistence Solution: To prevent this from happening again, you should: - Add the block registration command to your container's startup script or entrypoint - Or add it to your Dockerfile:
Copy code
dockerfile
   RUN pip install prefect-aws && prefect block register -m prefect_aws
4. Version Check: There have been some recent issues with ECS tasks in containers. Please verify your versions:
Copy code
bash
   prefect version
   pip show prefect-aws
Make sure you're using compatible versions of Prefect and prefect-aws. Would you be able to: 1. Check if
prefect-aws
is still installed in the container? 2. Try re-registering the blocks and let me know if the error persists? 3. Share your Prefect and prefect-aws versions? Also, based on the GitHub issues I found, there are some known issues with ECS tasks in certain scenarios. If the above steps don't resolve your issue, we might need to look at your specific ECS task configuration and how the container is being managed.
