If any task fails how to get that output/status of that task? @ancient-wolf-19325

You can inspect the status and outputs of each task (node) in a Flyte workflow execution using the Flyte UI, Flytectl CLI, or programmatically with FlyteRemote. In the UI, the "Nodes" tab of a workflow execution shows each node's status (e.g., SUCCEEDED, FAILED), and you can view inputs, outputs, and logs for each node. For failed tasks, the error message and logs are accessible in the same panel. According to the documentation, you can also use Flytectl with the --details flag to see node-level execution status and outputs, or use FlyteRemote to fetch execution details and inspect node executions and their outputs or errors programmatically (Viewing Workflow Executions, Inspecting Executions). If a task fails, its outputs are not available, but the error information is. In FlyteRemote, attempting to access outputs of a failed execution raises an error, but you can still inspect the error details and node execution status (FlyteRemote executions.py). Would you like more detail or a code example for any of these methods?

yes, please provide the code @ancient-wolf-19325

Here’s a code example using FlyteRemote to fetch a workflow execution, inspect node (task) statuses, and print error details for any failed tasks. This approach is based on the official documentation and integration tests (Inspecting Executions, test_remote.py):
Copy code
from flytekit.remote import FlyteRemote
from flytekit.configuration import Config

# Connect to Flyte backend
remote = FlyteRemote(
    config=Config.for_endpoint(endpoint="flyte.example.net"),
    default_project="your_project",
    default_domain="your_domain",
)

# Fetch a workflow execution by name
execution = remote.fetch_execution(
    name="your_execution_id", project="your_project", domain="your_domain"
)

# Sync to get node executions
synced_execution = remote.sync(execution, sync_nodes=True)

# Iterate over all node executions and print status and error if failed
for node_id, node_exec in synced_execution.node_executions.items():
    print(f"Node: {node_id}, Status: {node_exec.closure.phase}")
    if node_exec.closure.phase == "FAILED":
        print(f"  Error: {node_exec.closure.error.message}")
This will print the status of each node (task) and show error messages for any that failed. Sources: - Inspecting Executions - test_remote.py πŸ‘ 0 button πŸ‘Ž 0 button πŸ’‘ Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.
