Hello all. I've run across an issue that I just can't seem to figure out and I feel like it's probably something really simple. I've structured my project like so.

my_module/
  flows/
    my_flow.py
  tasks/
  lib/
     tasks/
       shared_task.py

So in

my_flow.py

I am importing from

my_module.lib.tasks.shared_task.py

where i've created a reusable Task class. But I am unable to register this flow using the prefect command

prefect register --project Test -m <http://my_module.flows.my|my_module.flows.my>_flow

I've tried many different combinations of the

prefect register

command and it just continues to generate a

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named my my_module

However, if I just use

flow.register()

inside of

my_flow.py

and execute it using

python my_module/flows/my_flow.py

it registers just fine.

This needs to be a pip installed module such that you can import it. For this structure, you need to add a

setup.py

in the root and then

pip install -e .

. I have an example of a basic

setup.py

here. You need the

___init___.py

files to be picked up though when you pip install

I have tried using the --path argument with prefect register and it also generates the same ModuleNotFound error so that didnt help

Ahh. The article has a link to a repo that will help visualize too.
