✅ thought for 257.3 seconds
Thanks for sharing the stack trace and your prefect.yaml — the error makes sense. What’s happening - Your 
build
step sets 
image_name
to 
fugotakefusaptml/prefect-docker-repo:2
and also sets 
tag: local
. - That results in a combined image like 
fugotakefusaptml/prefect-docker-repo:2:local
(two colons). - When the Docker worker tries to parse the image, it hits 
parse_image_tag(...)
which expects exactly one “:” and fails with “too many values to unpack (expected 2)”. How to fix Pick ONE of these patterns—do not include a tag in both 
image_name
and 
tag
. Option A: Put the tag only in 
tag
Copy code
build:
- prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image:
    id: build_image
    requires: prefect-docker>=0.3.1
    image_name: fugotakefusaptml/prefect-docker-repo
    tag: 2            # or 'local' if you prefer
    dockerfile: auto
    # optional: if you want an extra tag, add it here AND in push
    # additional_tags:
    # - local

push:
- prefect_docker.deployments.steps.push_docker_image:
    requires: prefect-docker>=0.3.1
    image_name: '{{ build_image.image_name }}'
    tag: '{{ build_image.tag }}'
    # repeat any additional tags you want to push as well
    # additional_tags:
    # - local

deployments:
- name: deployment_test
  flow_name: test_flow
  entrypoint: data_flows/deploy_buy.py:buy
  work_pool:
    name: docker-worker-pool
    job_variables:
      image: '{{ build_image.image }}'  # resolves to fugotakefusaptml/prefect-docker-repo:2
Option B: Put the tag only in 
image_name
and remove 
tag
Copy code
build:
- prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image:
    id: build_image
    requires: prefect-docker>=0.3.1
    image_name: fugotakefusaptml/prefect-docker-repo:2
    dockerfile: auto
    # optional extra tag
    # additional_tags:
    # - local

push:
- prefect_docker.deployments.steps.push_docker_image:
    requires: prefect-docker>=0.3.1
    image_name: '{{ build_image.image_name }}'
    # no tag here if you put it in image_name above
    # optional extra tag to push
    # additional_tags:
    # - local

deployments:
- name: deployment_test
  flow_name: test_flow
  entrypoint: data_flows/deploy_buy.py:buy
  work_pool:
    name: docker-worker-pool
    job_variables:
      image: '{{ build_image.image }}'
Notes - 
{{ build_image.image }}
is the combined 
repository:tag
string and is the right value to use for 
job_variables.image
. - If you want to publish multiple tags (e.g., 
2
and 
local
), include 
additional_tags
in both the build and push steps. - Make sure the 
requires:
lines in your YAML are not HTML-escaped; it should be 
prefect-docker>=0.3.1
(not 
>=
). Docs - Prefect YAML and deployment steps: prefect.yaml reference - Docker deployments (build/push and image usage): Deploying with Docker If you update the YAML and redeploy (
prefect deploy
from the project root), the worker should be able to pull the image without that parsing error. If you still see issues, can you share the resolved image string that shows up in the worker logs right before the pull (e.g., “Pulling image …”)? That’ll help confirm it’s correct.
