Question

Hi I am making my first pass at using Github actions to CI I have reached something I don t fully understand On pull request of a feature branch I run actions that 1 checkout the branch 2 create a project in prefect cloud 3 register the flow py with a label dev when I run the flow manually i get an error `Unexpected error while running flow KeyError Task slug connect source 1 is not found in the current Flow This is usually caused by a mismatch between the flow version stored in the Prefect backend and the flow that was loaded from storage n Did you change the flow without re registering it n Did you register the flow without updating it in your storage location if applicable `

Kevin Kho · Answer

What is your storage This error normally comes if your registered flow does not match the Github repo code for example

Hi I am using the gitHub storage

Wei Mei · Answer

If i merge to main and then try to run the flow it works as expected

Kevin Kho · Answer

When you register is the storage using the main branch or feature branch

Wei Mei · Answer

```with Flow hello flow example storage = GitHub repo= wei prefect extract path= flows flow py access token secret= GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN ```

Wei Mei · Answer

this is what is in my storage definition

Kevin Kho · Answer

So the issue is that it s using the main branch for the run but it s registered with the feature branch code right

Wei Mei · Answer

yes it sounds like that is indeed the case

Wei Mei · Answer

Is that something I need to change in my flow

Wei Mei · Answer

or my github action

Wei Mei · Answer

sorry this is my very 1st attempt

Kevin Kho · Answer

No worries I m not 100 sure either but I think you have to merge then register for this to work I think you can either 1 not register and run the flow to test it could just be unit tests on the tasks 2 register and test separately outside of the CI CD in this registration and testing you could use the feature branch

Kevin Kho · Answer

I think the problem is clear It s not something wrong with your flow or action There is something wrong with the process Does that make sense

Wei Mei · Answer

ok cool

Wei Mei · Answer

i probably trying to hard to make a super CI

Kevin Kho · Answer

A bit trickier to set up but you can register again with the main storage after testing the feature branch is a test env with registering and running Just a bunch of ideas

Kevin Kho · Answer

You have the same problem as Aram in the post above maybe you can try asking him what Storage he uses and how he does it haha

Wei Mei · Answer

Sure

Wei Mei · Answer

thanks for your time I read this one too <https github com PrefectHQ prefect discussions 4042>

Wei Mei · Answer

but they little advanced for me at moment slightly smiling face

Matthias · Answer

I think it just comes down to what you want to do test when a PR is created At that point the main focus should be automated testing to ensure the code is working as expected So the question is do you need to register the flow for testing

Wei Mei · Answer

I believe as Kevin mentioned looking for something similar to Aram At this point I would accept the successful regsiter with no error and the ability to click run on the dashboard and get a good run from this project before i merge it to main

Matthias · Answer

I think registering the flow under a new project in case you don t have a multi tenant setup is the easiest thing you can do in this case just make sure you register with the storage pointing to the feature branch instead of the main branch Would that work

Wei Mei · Answer

that is the part I am not aware of how to accomplish

Wei Mei · Answer

Is `ref` the correct kwarg to use for this

Matthias · Answer

< Wei Mei> that is correct see
