09/28/2022, 2:09 PMHey, I am trying to understand how to work with launch plans. Let’s say I have this workflow and I package and deploy it. When I look in the UI the launch plan is there, but when I inspect the workflow I can’t select the launch plan. Should I package and deploy the launchplan individually or what is the preferred way? Code in comments
Copy code
import typing, logging
from flytekit import (
task,
workflow,
LaunchPlan,
)
logging.basicConfig(level=<http://logging.INFO|logging.INFO>, format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s')
@task
def hello():
<http://logging.info|logging.info>("Hello!")
@task
def world():
<http://logging.info|logging.info>("World!")
@workflow
def wf() -> None:
hello()
world()
return
LaunchPlan.get_or_create(
workflow=wf,
name="flytesnacks_lp",
default_inputs={},
)s

09/28/2022, 2:14 PMHi Hampus, thanks for your question. There are two ways in which launchplans work with workflows to execute them. You have the default launchplans which come out of the box with a specific workflow version. But you can also configure the workflows to run on a schedule and emit notifications as well.

And you can create launchplans arbitrarily
But, they are always tied to a workflow version
What happens when you hit the launch button
On a side note this is a UX improvement we should do - cc @Hongxun

09/29/2022, 6:35 AMI tried to rename the workflow and package/register once again, then the launchplan appears in the drop down. Not sure why that happened
