I'm trying to run
prefect cloud login --key <API Key I Just Created>
but I keep getting an error that says:
Copy code
Unable to authenticate. Please ensure your credentials are correct.
Am I missing something?

can you share your
prefect diagnostics
output? make sure you do:
Copy code
prefect backend cloud
also, if you're just getting started, you may start directly with Cloud 2.0

ok, so it looks like you are on Prefect 2.0 not on 1.0 - which is great!
let me try to replicate it to make sure it's not an issue with Cloud 2.0

Danilo Drobac

06/08/2022, 1:38 PM
I see. Looks like I've created an account for Cloud 1.0 rather than 2.0

Anna Geller

06/08/2022, 1:38 PM
for 2.0b6 - you need beta.prefect.io
for Prefect 1.0 you use cloud.prefect.io
it's totally justifiable that it may be confusing - that's the main reason I created the above Discourse page

Danilo Drobac

06/08/2022, 1:39 PM
Okay, I'm logged in now. That makes sense. Let me go back through that Discourse page and see if I can make more sense of it now I've put some stuff in action

One additional question - I'm trying to understand how the agents / queues work on a VM. I have Cloud 2.0 as the UI component. I've set up a VM and installed Prefect 2.0 on there and set the storage to a GCS bucket that I've got. Am I right in thinking that I now have to create a deployment (locally) to Cloud 2.0 and then I can use the VM as an agent?
a

Anna Geller

06/08/2022, 1:42 PM
exactly!
1
you can do:
Copy code
prefect work-queue create default
prefect agent start default
to create a default work queue and start a default agent - this way any deployment you create will create flow runs that will be picked up by this agent:
Copy code
prefect deployment create yourflow.py
d

Danilo Drobac

Another one for you - my storage bucket contains all of the flow code that I want to keep maintained (it's set up to mirror my GitHub repo with the code in). My assumption was that by setting the
storage
to that location, we would somehow have access to the flow code. Is that correct? If so, should I be able to deploy directly from the VM, or would it still require me cloning the repo and essentially running the code locally?
And to give you the reason why I'm trying to understand all of these components, it's ultimately so that I can work out what my CI/CD needs to look like. For example, when my code changes for a flow and I push the change to GitHub, I want to make that: 1. If it's an existing deployment, I want to make sure it is updated to the new code 2. If it's a new deployment, I want to have the creation of it automated Is this a normal workflow of how the product works?

Well that GitHub actions script is genius. Now to see whether it can be reproduced in Google Cloud Build 😆 So that literally re-creates the deployments for everything that's found as a Python script in the
flows
folder. If you changed your structure to have a separate
deployments
folder you would simply change the path in the action step? And with that flow script, you're directly specifying GCS as the location for storage, if it wasn't done there, we'd need an additional step in the GitHub Actions script to add the storage details? Is that correct/possible?

Anna Geller

06/08/2022, 2:13 PM
#1 yes exactly - it looks for deployment specs, not for flows #2 if you don't explicitly specify storage, Prefect will use your default storage and will upload your flow there during deployment creation - but note it will be uploaded to cloud storage as a plain text file with uuid, rather than as python file with custom name - more on storage here https://discourse.prefect.io/t/when-should-i-use-filestorageblock-vs-specific-cloud-pla[…]block-googlecloudstorageblock-or-azureblobstorageblock/924

Hey. I've been working on converting the GitHub actions script to work with Cloud Build and I'm making good progress, but I'm getting stuck when I get to the authentication with Prefect Cloud. I've created a builder (the equivalent of the GitHub version of
uses: {builder}
) which is just a Dockerfile that does all the pre-installations of gcsfs and prefect>=2.0b, and I've validated that running
prefect version
with that builder returns what I would expect. When I run the
prefect cloud login --key {key} --workspace {workspace}
command, I get a timeout error that happens within ~10seconds of the step running. It can't be a timeout error because of the BuildStep so must be something else. I've validated that the same command works correctly and as expected when run locally. Have you ever experienced this or do you have any ideas?

ok, given that you asked about the same in a separate thread, I'll treat this one as closed for the future, no need to open multiple threads for the same issue - we had to talk to figure out what you are doing in this new thread while it was clear from here that you are running CI from Google Cloud Build - at least can you share a link to the previous conversation next time? this would be helpful
