Prefect 2.0 question here - I have three scripts I want to orchestrate in a flow by utilizing the ’shell_run_command” and passing in the command to execute a script. The scripts are not idempotent, and I’d like to cache their completed status if there is a failure between the scripts. Shell_run_command is a ‘task’ object type, and I cannot call a task from within a task to utilize the task cache key. What should I be doing instead?

this was suggested to me for a different use case https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1670872884098069?thread_ts=1670862003.382649&cid=CL09KU1K7

I’m not sure I follow why you can’t set a cache key

I do not see a place to provide the shell_run_command a cache key

ooo I did not find ‘with_options’ . I will try it out

cc @terrence we may want to highlight

with_options

in the documentation

This is on my roadmap. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll try to move it up the priority ladder

okay I got it working 🙂
