Question

is it possible to create a helper function task that implements both create flow run and wait for flow run I tried ``` task def flow run helper flow name project name cfr = create flow run flow name=flow name project name=project name wfr = wait for flow run cfr stream logs=True raise final state=True return wfr``` but its yelling at me about ValueError Could not infer an active Flow context while creating edge my app does a lot of chaining of flows so i wanted to streamline this

we have many examples using that pattern here <https discourse prefect io tag wait for flow run>

`StartFlowRun wait=True ` does it in one go

Anna Geller · Answer

```from prefect import Flow from prefect tasks prefect import StartFlowRun start flow run = StartFlowRun project name= PROJECT NAME wait=True with Flow FLOW NAME as flow staging = start flow run flow name= child flow name ```

i dont think i can use StartFlowRun and still get all of my child flow logs appearing in the main flow

I currently have to do all my chaining like this to get the behavior i want out of the dashboard ```sd id = create flow run flow name= sync data project name= proj sd wait = wait for flow run sd id stream logs=True raise final state=True pd id = create flow run flow name= process data project name= proj pd wait = wait for flow run pd id stream logs=True raise final state=True pd id set upstream sd wait ed id = create flow run flow name= export data project name= proj ed wait = wait for flow run ed id stream logs=True raise final state=True ed id set upstream pd wait ```

check this Discourse page we have 6 examples showing how you can do that <https discourse prefect io tag wait for flow run>

Kevin Kho · Answer

Ah I see You function will though if you call ` run ` To use a task inside another task ``` task def abc bcd run cde run ``` but note it s not a task it s just the Python function underneath
