Hey, everyone! I need some help understanding what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying out Flyte using the sandbox and flytectl. I'm following the workflow: build the container, serialize tasks, register the tasks. I'm avoiding fast serialization because I'm using a custom Dockerfile that sets the user as non-root, and apparently that breaks the fast registration system (by the way, is this expected? Will this also happen in a remote cluster?). Now, I just created a new task to test Google Cloud integration, called

test_google_cloud

, but the system won't find it: if I try to run it, I'm met with the error

AttributeError: module 'src.flyte.tasks' has no attribute 'test_google_cloud'

. I ran

docker build

again, serialized the tasks again, registered them again, and still nothing. The task is registered, since I can see it on the UI, but the worker can't find it. What is happening?

Firstly, fast serialization breaks in some case, we would love to know that. That is a bug. Non root users should be able to install the fast serialized tarball. I think when you fast serialize you have to provide the alternate path. As you can see here, default is

/root

Just tried using the

-d

option and the error persists. Before, it was just a

Forbidden

error coming from trying to copy the file to

/root

. Now, this appears:

flytekit.exceptions.user.FlyteAssertion: Failed to get data from <s3://my-s3-bucket/fast/v3-fastb17df494435c35acc740957bbca00389.tar.gz> to /home/flyte/app (recursive=False).

Original exception: Called process exited with error code: 1.  Stderr dump:

b'fatal error: An error occurred (403) when calling the HeadObject operation: Forbidden\n'

The root of the source code is

/home/flyte/app

Hey @Matheus Moreno did you ever get past this?

Hi @George Snelling! I was able to resolve the problem by: • Passing the

chown

argument when copying the directory to the container (

COPY --chown=flyte:flyte src/ /home/flyte/src

on the Dockerfile, for a non-root user

flyte

) • Passing the

--in-container-source-path

when (fast) registering the tasks (

--in-container-source-path /home/flyte

in my case)
