@ancient-wolf-19325 my base image has packages installed still the task mentions Import Error. Should I also mention package=[] in ImageSpec for any package I want to import or use in launch_plans or workflow in general?

Yes, you should specify the packages in the
packages
parameter of
ImageSpec
to ensure they are included in the container image used by your tasks. This is necessary even if your base image already has the packages installed, as it ensures consistency and reproducibility across different environments. According to the Flyte documentation, specifying packages in
ImageSpec
adds them on top of the default image, ensuring they are available during task execution. Would you like more details on how to configure
ImageSpec
for your tasks? Sources: - Flyte Documentation on ImageSpec 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@ancient-wolf-19325 so i have a requirements.txt file for all packages how do I mention it in my ImageSpec with filepath for same
j
To include a
requirements.txt
file in your
ImageSpec
, you can use the
requirements
parameter to specify the path to your
requirements.txt
file. This will ensure that all the packages listed in the file are installed in the container image. Here's an example:
Copy code
from flytekit import ImageSpec

custom_image = ImageSpec(
    registry="your_registry",
    requirements="path/to/requirements.txt"
)
This configuration will read the
requirements.txt
file from the specified path and install the packages during the image build process. Would you like more details on this process?
