I am trying to run a simple terraform code using prefect. the terraform code is a .tf file which creates a storage account. When I am running it as a normal python code (without including prefect, flows etc), it is working fine. But with prefect I am getting error. I am not sure if this is related to prefect, or something else.

Not sure but I think it’s because of the

Terraform

outside the task. Can you try moving it inside a task?

@Shuchita Tripathi we'll have some Terraform experts on PrefectLive today at 3p Eastern, might be an interesting time to ask some questions

Thank you Chris. I'll try to attend.

I think something in the Terraform object is lost when the flow is serialized. You can leave it outside if you use script based storage like Github or S3 or even Local with

stored_as_script=True

, but this might not work if you use the DaskExecutor which pickles stuff to send to the works. If you use Dask, you might need it inside the task

@Shuchita Tripathi it would be great if you don't tag anyone unless this is something urgent, that would be much appreciated 🙏 Kevin is the fastest person to respond anyway so really there is no need for tagging him, he will respond without having to tag him.

Sure Anna. I'll keep that in mind
