Prefect Community

Hello, what’s the best idiom for marking a task of  executing some k8s job via `RunNamespacedJob` as a failure (within the job itself) ? or is it impossible because the command is async?

i guess it would be `exit (1)` or something from within the python that runs in the job? but will prefect know about it?

It depends on what you are doing within this Kubernetes job - if this is a python process, you can raise an error or raise Prefect Signal. But if this is a non-Python process, it should be enough to force the job to return a non-zero exit code

ya it is a python process, but is the `RunNamespacedJob` async or not? does it wait around to find out the status at the end of the job?
