That is a very good question I wonder if you could get it out of the state attribute Hopefully someone else has an actual answer

Okay yeah would be a nice treat to see which task failed smile

I ll look into state

scott · Answer

Poked around some most likely candidate seems to be `task run results` via your <https docs prefect io api ref prefect context h=get run conte prefect context FlowRunContext|docs> but i m not sure how i d pull the task name from that locally testing and i m not sure how to get a failed task and also get metadata from `get run context`
