Hello. I'm trying to use ShellTask locally on Windows using Prefect core, but I'm having issues. I found this old Issue on Github saying that ShellTask isn't windows-compatible. Is there a fix or any workaround?

Check this. You need bash on your path to use it

Thanks for the reply, but it didn't fixt it

What error do you get?

The task itself runs, but my

helper_script

is not executed in the directory I'm in; it's executed in the directory in the screenshot; therefore I get directory doesn't exist

What if you made a task that does this instead?

subprocess.call('ls', shell=True, cwd='path/to/wanted/dir/')

it doesn't recognize ls

'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command,...

That just an example. Try

dir

for Windows

Oh, What you're suggesting is avoiding ShellTask, and using subprocess instead all together?

Yeah inside a task

I can solve my problem with subprocess. Thanks Are there limitations in using subprocess instead of ShellTask? Like I mentioned, our use-case for ShellTask is not complicated, just running dbt (

run dbt --some_optinos

)
