Not sure, why the flytectl says that the file taken from flytesnacks as invalid files when trying to register. Even the pyflyte package is not recognizing the file. Any idea? My local:

flyte]$ tree workflows/

workflows/
├── hello_world.py
├── __init__.py
└── __pycache__
    ├── hello_world.cpython-37.pyc
    └── __init__.cpython-37.pyc
1 directory, 5 files

serializing using pyflyte which creates tar.gz file:

flyte]$ pyflyte register workflows/hello_world.py -d development  -p cloudops-max-flyte-demo

Output given as None, using a temporary directory at /tmp/tmplbj3dq0o instead

Hi, @delightful-lion-57360! You need not run

flytectl register

cause

pyflyte register

does the serialization and registration: https://docs.flyte.org/projects/flytekit/en/latest/design/clis.html#what-is-pyflyte-register. Is there a folder that houses the workflow folder (like parent/) as @thankful-minister-83577 suggested?

parent/
(no init file here at this layer)
  workflows/
    __init__.py
    hello_world.py
