Question

Hi all I m trying out Prefect Orion v2 0b3 and was following the orion tutorials I am having issues updating an existing deployment which the <https orion docs prefect io concepts deployments creating deployments with the cli|docs> mentioned can be done by `prefect deployment create` Getting a `prefect exceptions ObjectAlreadyExists` error Is this expected

Kevin Kho · Answer

I ve only seen this happen when you do something like create a deployment to an Orion instance inside a container Is that what you are doing

Kevin Kho · Answer

And I couldn t even properly replicate it Could you tell me more about your setup

I m testing prefect in a conda env in virtualbox guest ubuntu 20 04 on a windows host machine Basically created a deployment following this <https orion docs prefect io tutorials deployments > then changed the deployment spec parameters and rerun `prefect deployment create` which failed

Kevin Kho · Answer

Did you configure a storage

marque · Answer

Nope

marque · Answer

The only prefect config I changed was setting `PREFECT ORION API HOST= 0 0 0 0 ` to allow my host to access the prefect UI on the browser not sure if that affects this

Kevin Kho · Answer

Could you try resetting the database and seeing if that works

Kevin Kho · Answer

You could also just try the Cloud 2 0 directly It might be easier to use

marque · Answer

Still had the same issue after resetting fails the second time I run `prefect deployment create`

marque · Answer

Tried Cloud 2 0 same issue Oh well Attaching a screenshot here of the error tracebacks for reference same error for both ephemeral and cloud

I am just going to bump that I have dug into the source code and have a feeling it s not handled with the intended logic in mind I had the same problem and could exactly where it was happening with no error handling try except despite the behavior clearly being that it should update the existing object on conflict

Alexander Butler · Answer

For the team here is the exact line of code location where the logic as its described is not coded to do what it says Here is the API piece thats invoked so you can close the loop and see there is no handling to update the block as expected desired Hope this helps make it ez I did the digging already slightly smiling face
