How do Retries work with Dependent Flows I added retries to

Question

How do Retries work with Dependent Flows I added retries to the task from the parent flow but they don t seem to be firing

Kevin Kho · Answer

Does the subflow not fire Are you trying to fire another subflow

Matt Alhonte · Answer

I m trying to get the subflow to retry if it fails specifically if the EC2 container doesn t start occasionally get the error ` reason RESOURCE MEMORY `

Kevin Kho · Answer

Ah ok so this can t be done easily See <https discourse prefect io t how do i restart a child flow run in a flow of flows 634|this> for an explanation Basically the idempotency will not fire off another run

Kevin Kho · Answer

Sub flow retries are being worked on though for 2 0

Matt Alhonte · Answer

aha

Matt Alhonte · Answer

Looks like it could work if I used an Idempotency Key and used script based storage

Matt Alhonte · Answer

How do you use Script based Storage with S3 storage

Kevin Kho · Answer

Just use `stored as script=True` and point to a `local script path` to upload Use them in tandem

Matt Alhonte · Answer

Hrm I ll give that a try thanks

Matt Alhonte · Answer

< Kevin Kho> How does the path work So let s say my CI CD pipeline runs `prefect register lt path gt ` do I put ` lt path gt lt script gt py` Or just ` lt script gt py`

Kevin Kho · Answer

I think relative will work

Kevin Kho · Answer

You should see it upload for you

Matt Alhonte · Answer

Huzzah btw needed to use the absolute path

Matt Alhonte · Answer

Sweet now let s see if the Idempotency key stuff works

Kevin Kho · Answer
