Newbie ALERT: Trying to run a basic regression model using

prefect 2.0

. Facing below error:

Copy code

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/kku/work/prefect_poc/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/prefect/engine.py", line 467, in orchestrate_flow_run

    X,y = get_feat_and_target(df_car,target)
TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable PrefectFuture object

It's a simple serial execution where a

flow

function calls different

Task

functions serially. very similar to the below tutorial on the official website.

Copy code

import requests
from prefect import flow, task

@task
def call_api(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    print(response.status_code)
    return response.json()

@task
def parse_fact(response):
    print(response["fact"])
    return 

@flow
def api_flow(url):
    fact_json = call_api(url)
    parse_fact(fact_json)
    return

So far I have tried creating a new virtual env and install minimal packages required to run the ML model but had no luck. Could you please help me with this.

Can you share

prefect version

output?

I couldn't reproduce it - can you try this example?

Copy code

import requests
from prefect import flow, task


@task
def call_api(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    print(response.status_code)
    return response.json()


@task
def parse_fact(response):
    print(response["BTC"])
    return


@flow
def api_flow(url):
    fact_json = call_api(url)
    parse_fact(fact_json)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    api_flow("<https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/pricemulti?fsyms=BTC&tsyms=USD>")

it gives me:

The tutorial examples works well on my machine. It seems when I try to return multiple variables from the function, prefect throws an error.

Copy code

import requests
from prefect import flow, task


@task
def call_api(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    print(response.status_code)
    return response.json(), response.status_code


@task
def parse_fact(response):
    print(response["BTC"])
    return


@flow
def api_flow(url):
    fact_json, code  = call_api(url)
    parse_fact(fact_json)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    api_flow("<https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/pricemulti?fsyms=BTC&tsyms=USD>")

Error:

In My regression POC example too I am trying to return two variables from function.

Try:

Copy code

fact_json, code  = call_api(url).result()

this will work. The problem is that you return multiple objects in a task, but the task itself returns a PrefectFuture. Only by retrieving

.result()

of it you get the actual returned data To assign that to those 2 objects

fact_json

and

code

, this would need to be the actual data, which you can get by adding

.result()

Otherwise, you try to unpack PrefectFuture to those two objects, which won't work because: •

call_api(URL)

returns a single object - PrefectFuture •

call_api(url).result()

returns the actual data Here is a working example:

Copy code

import requests
from prefect import flow, task


@task
def call_api(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.json(), response.status_code


@task
def parse_json(response):
    print(response["BTC"])


@task
def parse_code(code):
    print(code)


@flow
def api_flow(url):
    resp_json, resp_code = call_api(url).result()
    parse_json(resp_json)
    parse_code(resp_code)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    api_flow("<https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/pricemulti?fsyms=BTC&tsyms=USD>")
