Flyte

Hi, I'm trying to pass a FlyteDirectory between tasks... When I pass it from python task to ShellTask it works as expected, but when I pass from python task to python task the directory came empty. Can someone help me?

hey Renata, do you have a minimum repro example where you’re seeing this issue?

Following up on this issue, I created a bug ticket: <https://github.com/flyteorg/flyte/issues/2806>

In summary, FlyteDirectory objects need to be explicitly `.download()`ed in a remote execution, but not in a python runtime, causing confusion, since we want parity between how flyte works locally and remotely.

<@U02MEAKMMU1> <@U01J90KBSU9> we should create docs tickets to:
• update the “<https://docs.flyte.org/projects/cookbook/en/latest/auto/core/flyte_basics/folders.html#sphx-glr-auto-core-flyte-basics-folders-py|working with folders>” doc
• update the <https://docs.flyte.org/projects/flytekit/en/latest/generated/flytekit.types.directory.FlyteDirectory.html#flytekit.types.directory.FlyteDirectory|FlyteDirectory> api reference: for some reason the docstrings aren’t rendering
