Getting an error when calling prefect client api through a l

Question

Getting an error when calling prefect client api through a lambda function ``` RuntimeError Orion requires sqlite gt = 3 24 0 but we found version 3 7 17 n ``` I am using prefect2 cloud app with no changes for sqlite Any ideas why this is happening

Zanie · Answer

Sounds like `PREFECT API URL` isn t set in the lambda is it

Zanie · Answer

Basically I don t think we should check the SQLite version unless you re not connecting to an API server

hmm I am fetching the `PREFECT API URL` in the lambda from AWS SSM prior to creating the prefect client But I guess it s probably too late because prefect module has already been loaded and it does not find PREFECT API URL So this should be set in the ENV before any modules are loaded

Is there a way to instantiate settings from os env after prefect module has been loaded

Zanie · Answer

Yeah you want to set it beforehand You can do `with prefect settings temporary settings `

Zanie · Answer

I m not sure that will force a load from the environment again

Zanie · Answer

You could set the API URL there though

I also noticed an error on the lambda invocation ``` var task prefect context py 493 UserWarning Failed to create the Prefect home directory at home sbx user1051 prefect``` Is this important to fix I can try to set PREFECT HOME to a directory where the lambda will have write permission

btw I was able to set PREFECT API URL through the serverless environment so it should be available prior to module loading so thanks for helping with that

Hm I m not sure what will happen if the home directory can t be created it ll fail when you re not connecting to an external API but it should be fine when you are

Zanie · Answer

You can always change the home directory if you need to +1

not sure what you mean by connecting to an external API I am connecting to the prefect cloud server
