Hi Everyone, I am not getting how to set "name" parameter in run_deployment. Can anyone please help me here?

From doc I get this
name: The deployment name in the form: '&lt;flow-name&gt;/&lt;deployment-name&gt;'
now flow-name is the name of parent flow or the flow hich we want to run and what will be there in deployment-name and also I want to try it locally

<https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/deployments/#create-a-deployment-from-a-python-object>
like this ?

but I am getting below error when I tried giving flow name to be the name of flow which I want to run and deployment-name as "local"

read_deployment_by_name
    response = await self._client.get(f"/deployments/name/{name}")

raise prefect.exceptions.ObjectNotFound(http_exc=e) from e
prefect.exceptions.ObjectNotFound

Can you share your code as a whole that is creating the error?

this is one file
```from datetime import date
from prefect import flow,task
from prefect.deployments import run_deployment
from prefect_dask.task_runners import DaskTaskRunner
from cust_test import Firstrun






@flow(task_runner=DaskTaskRunner())
@flow(name="testing")
def parent():
    deployment_name: str = "local-process"
    run_deployment(name="test/local-process",flow_run_name="parallel")
    #run_deployment.submit(flow_run_name="parallel")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    parent()```

and in cust_test.py
```from datetime import date
from prefect import flow,task
from prefect.deployments import run_deployment
from prefect_dask.task_runners import DaskTaskRunner

@task()
def e():
    print(12)

@flow(name="test")
def Firstrun():
    e()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    Firstrun()```

now hen i am running the first file containing parent flow it is giving me error

Did you build deployment? I just saw flow

do we need to build it while running locally as well?

```from my_project.flows import my_flow
from prefect.deployments import Deployment

deployment = Deployment.build_from_flow(
    flow=my_flow,
    name="example-deployment", 
    version=1, 
    work_queue_name="demo",
)
deployment.apply()```
do i need to run above code in .py file

I'm new to prefect too. But I think you should build a deployment, And then run_deployment("FLOWNAME/DEPLOYMENT")

```from prefect import flow,task

@task()
def e():
    print(12)

@flow(name="my_flow")
def Firstrun():
    e()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    Firstrun()```

```# dep.py
from cust_test import Firstrun
from prefect.deployments import Deployment, run_deployment

deployment = Deployment.build_from_flow(
    flow=Firstrun,
    name="my_deployment", 
    version=1
)
deployment.apply()
run_deployment("my_flow/my_deployment")```

I'm running with a local orion server, actually it's not truly "locally" as you mentioned, so i'm not sure
