Question

Help with Prefect `v2` more details in thread 1 building construction Structuring project We re using v2 with a GCS Storage block a KubernetesJob block and a Flow Deployment all three defined in Python files Because we re using GCS Storage the flow files are not `pip installed` so we can only use relative imports in the flow like `from utils import foo` which can make local development and bugchecking a bit more error prone We will probably shift to just using the Docker images local files but haven t yet experimented with this in Prefect v2 Are there any best practises around this Project structure in thread 2 woman running Running flows Prefect `v1` had a `prefect run ` command in the CLI which made it possible to run a local flow Prefect`v2` doesn t seem to have this We can t add a `if name == main ` to the Flow file because it has relative imports so running it doesn t work As a workaround I ve added a `run py` in a parent directory that imports and runs it but this isn t very ergonomic In either case if I want to pass parameters I must create my own CLI for doing so Have I missed something in the CLI or is there a plan to add this Or is there a better pattern I should be using instead

Project structure ``` Dockerfile requirements txt src blocks py deployments py flows init py flow py utils init py run py```

I m using the deployment steps below I m not using `prefect deployment ` as it means configuring a bunch of stuff in a CLI argument and seems like a messier CI CD story what am I missing there Version controlling the deployment YAMLs and editing them directly doesn t seem like an option as they ll immediately get out of date with the blocks What s the best pattern here What I m doing just seems weird and inconsistent to do the blocks via the CLI and the deployments by running a file and has implications for the kinds of imports each file can do ```prefect block register f src blocks py python src deployments py```
