How do I read the output file of storing my Flow Results in GCS with

GSCResult

?

GCSResult(…).read()

but if you just pass a task output to the next task it should handle it for you

I am looking for after the fact, I can't just open it in a text editor when I download from GCS?

Ah I see what you mean. So Results are paired with Serializers and I think the default is Pickle. You can create a serializer that doesn’t serialize like this so that it’s not pickled. You also can probably so

cloudpickle.loads(…)

to the thing that you load in to deserialize it.

Coming back to this. Is there a special Flow Result object that is created. I am interested in making a queryable dataset out of our flow results. We are using Prefect Cloud, fyi.

I don’t think the Flow has a result. Only tasks have results (like return something). The Flow result is mainly to serve as a default for tasks. So you would need to point to the specific tasks

OK, thank you
