When getting started with Prefect 2.0, I'm getting an error "MissingContextError: No profile context found"

simon_mackenzie · March 20, 2022, 7:33pm

I have installed prefect 2. I run “prefect orion start” and can view the dashboard. I try “prefect storage create” and I get “httpx.HTTPStatusError: Server error ‘500 Internal Server Error’ for url ‘http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/block_specs/filter’
For more information check: 500 Internal Server Error - HTTP Status Code Glossary - WebFX”. The server terminal shows "“no profile context found”.

I have tried “prefect context create” to create a new profile. Still getting same error.

Hi @simon_mackenzie, so great to see you tried out Prefect 2.0!

The easiest way to troubleshoot this local issue is by starting from scratch by removing the SQLite DB and resetting the DB:

rm ~/.prefect/orion.db
prefect orion database reset -y
prefect orion start

Then, you should be able to create storage:

prefect storage create

You need to pick one e.g. S3 and set a default storage, either via CLI instructions or by using the ID you get as a result of the command above:

prefect storage set-default STORAGE_ID

Then, you should be able to create a work-queue, start an agent and run scheduled deployments, e.g.

prefect work-queue create -t local local
# this returns WORK_QUEUE_ID

# then run:
prefect agent start WORK_QUEUE_ID

Then you can build an example flow with a DeploymentSpec:

# work_queue_test_flow.py
import platform
from prefect import task, flow
from prefect import get_run_logger


@task
def say_hi():
    logger = get_run_logger()
    logger.info("Hello world!")


@task
def print_platform_info():
    logger = get_run_logger()
    logger.info(
        "Platform information: IP = %s, Python = %s, EC2 instance type = %s, OS Version = %s",
        platform.node(),
        platform.python_version(),
        platform.platform(),
        platform.version(),
    )


@flow
def work_queue_test_flow():
    hi = say_hi()
    print_platform_info(wait_for=[hi])


from prefect.deployments import DeploymentSpec

DeploymentSpec(
    name="hello_world_local",
    flow=work_queue_test_flow,  # flow_location is inferred from flow
    tags=["local"],
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    flow_run_state = work_queue_test_flow()

Run this in another terminal from the same directory as the above flow file:

prefect deployment create work_queue_test_flow.py

Now, when you go to Orion UI and run a deployment, it will run on the agent.

Running flows locally

Note that if you just run the same flow as above locally, it will already show in the UI because deployments are only required for scheduled flow runs and generally backend triggered flow runs that run on some agents. For local testing, you can just do:

python work_queue_test_flow.py

And the results would show in the UI!

This does not work for me. I have deleted the database and restarted orion. As soon as I say prefect storage create I get an error. Below is .prefect/profiles.toml; version; traceback from server. I am running on WSL2. Do I have to setup some kind of profile file?

active = “default”

[profiles.default]
PREFECT_API_URL = “http://127.0.0.1:4200/api”

Did you run some async flows? Because async is a bit more complicated due to event loop, so for async flows, it may be easier to start it from the terminal.

Could you try running your Jupyter lab on the same machine as your Orion and see if that works? If so, we would need to figure out only the networking part rather than discussing package dependencies :slightly_smiling_face: ![Luis_Aguirre] **@Luis_Aguirre:** Both Jupyter and Orion are running on the same machine, what I'm noticing is that the issue happens when there's a running event loop ipython: [nbterm](https://github.com/davidbrochart/nbterm) (which is a jupyter notebook clone that runs locally on the terminal Results on ipython and on nbterm ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/86264395/157967170-c7e35273-56c1-4140-b18d-2d0106bc18eb.png) ![Anna_Geller] **@Anna_Geller:** Ok, thanks. Let me ask the team since I don't know why you can run it in iPython but not in your Jupyter notebook. @Luis_Aguirre my colleague encountered the no profile context too with an async task but it only occurs when the cell is run twice.

I think running Orion in a Jupyter notebook is not commonly used and not tested yet. ![Luis_Aguirre] **@Luis_Aguirre:** My goal is to use Orion on a web application that uses a Jupyter Kernel Gateway to process dataframe data. I'm open to recommendations to stop using jupyter kernels for this app. I tried using the API from prefect and managed to run some code but realized the responses with pickled data aren't JavaScript friendly, since I'm using a Node.js back-end [Luis_Aguirre]: https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2022-01-13/2974752177136_e45361a65388a37db223_24.png [Anna_Geller]: https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2021-10-04/2585679938480_3d7e8c7969cc36b0c7ca_24.jpg

Solution is:

pip install “uvloop >= 0.16.0”

anna_geller · March 22, 2022, 6:07pm

@simon_mackenzie wow, thank you so much for sharing the solution, I really appreciate that!

Does it also solve this issue on WSL 2 or is this one still open?

simon_mackenzie · March 22, 2022, 6:25pm

Still an issue…and it is nothing to do with dockerflow runner. Did someone edit my title?

anna_geller · March 22, 2022, 6:45pm

Yeah, I did because it wasn’t specific enough. Saying “Prefect 2 doesn’t work with docker” doesn’t tell us much about what exactly you try to do here.

Can you define what you tried to do then? So far we haven’t anticipated running Orion itself in a Docker container apart from the Kubernetes deployment: https://orion-docs.prefect.io/tutorials/kubernetes-flow-runner/

So I assumed you had an issue using DockerFlowRunner - if not, can you provide exactly the steps you’ve taken so far and what exactly didn’t work?

anna_geller · March 22, 2022, 6:47pm

@simon_mackenzie let’s switch discussing the actual Docker issue in the Docker issue rather than here - it’s becoming confusing
