Greetings, I am having an issue registering a Flow...

Greetings, I am having an issue registering a Flow with a simple ShellTask (Prefect/Cloud 1.0). The RunConfig for the flow is pointing to a custom image in ECR that contains the binary that we are attempting to run via the shell task (using the ECSRun type). The path to the binary in the shell command does not exist locally. When I attempt to register the flow, it fails with a “no such file or directory” error. Does the register cli command attempt to verify the shell task locally? How can I get around this when I only want it to reference the location in the container image?
k
It should need it. Can I see how you call the ShellTask?
s
I create the task:
Copy code
dcm_task = ShellTask(
    return_all=True,
    stream_output=True
)
and run it in the flow:
Copy code
output = dcm_task.run(command='./service/dcm-service')
where the path to the binary inside the ECR image is the command
I mainly want to get back the log data from the binary service and output it.
k
Can I see your traceback?
Ah wait. don’t call run in the flow
Just do:
Copy code
output = dcm_task.run(command='./service/dcm-service')
s
When I use the register cli command this is the error:
Copy code

k
You shouldn’t be calling .run in the Flow. The Flow block will do that for you
s
ahh, so how do I reference the task in the flow block?
k
Copy code
shell = ShellTask(..)
with Flow(..) as flow:
    shell(...)
s
can insert the command in the flow block like this:
Copy code
output = dcm_task(command='/service/dcm-service')
or should command be part of the ShellTask initialization?
k
It can be inserted in both places
s
awesome thanks, that did the trick
it makes sense.. run() tries to run it immediately at registration

k
Yes exactly!
