Hi. I continue to ask my questions here - super grateful for the help i got so far. I have now setup a flow that launches a number of subflows that fetches data from Google Cloud Storage and writes the data to Big Query. I’m running the flow locally (prefect 2.0) and it’s connected to prefect cloud. However, i sometimes run into an error i cannot really understand and i don’t know how to troubleshoot it. It only happens occasionally and i cannot really reproduce it. I moved the trace to the thread. The logging message @
16:34:10.826
is the last thing that happens in the task read_blob in which the error occurs in. So it looks to me that something goes wrong when reporting the task. The error message doens’t tell me that much - so if you have any advices on how i should troubleshoot this i would be really helpful (or if you can guess on what might be wrong?)

can you move the traceback into the thread?

it looks like your task run crashes sometimes:
Copy code
Task run 'read_blob-eaa21aac-2' - Crash detected! Execution was interrupted by an unexpected exception.
is it some long running task? is is the task reading the blob object?
could it be that your task that fails is returning some client or other unserializable object? one thing you could do for troubleshooting is to check whether something went wrong when submitting the task to the task runner - the default is ConcurrentTaskRunner - you could do that by moving this failing task directly into the flow. Reason: flows block execution while tasks return immediately a future

The details of a crashed task run will be included as a debug level log
I’d recommend changing the log level

Thank you both for your feedback. Realize that i might revisit how i defined the task - to see if that make things run smoother. And thanks for the advice regarding log level - i will change! If post the stack trace for reference in the thread: I get the following error message:
