@ancient-wolf-19325 can I fetch the flyte workflow or task id in my script itself?

Yes, you can fetch the workflow or task ID in your script using the Flytekit context. For tasks, you can access the task's unique identifier via

flytekit.current_context().task_id

, and for workflows, you can use

flytekit.current_context().execution_id

to get the execution identifier. These provide programmatic access to the IDs within the running Flyte task or workflow context, as documented in the Flytekit API and referenced in community discussions. However, some plugins or execution environments (e.g., Databricks) may not expose all context fields, and not all metadata (like user identity) is available in every context or Flyte version. For remote or programmatic access outside the running context, you can use the FlyteRemote SDK to fetch tasks or workflows by name and version, which returns objects containing their IDs. See the FlyteRemote API and Flytekit context usage for details. Would you like a code example or more detail on accessing these IDs?

@ancient-wolf-19325 can I get the URL to the execution directly?

Yes, you can get the URL to a Flyte execution directly. When using the FlyteRemote SDK, you can generate the console URL for a workflow or task execution with

remote.generate_console_url(execution)

, where

execution

is the execution object returned by

remote.execute()

or

remote.fetch_execution()

. This provides a direct link to the execution in the Flyte Console UI, as documented in the user guide and FlyteRemote API. Would you like a code example or more detail?

Can I generate this in the script itself?

Yes, you can generate the execution URL in your script itself. After launching or fetching an execution with FlyteRemote, call

remote.generate_console_url(execution)

to get the direct URL to the execution in the Flyte Console. This works both for new executions and for executions fetched by name. Would you like a code example?

@ancient-wolf-19325 show me a code example of a task

Here is a minimal example of a Flyte task using the Flytekit SDK:

from flytekit import task

@task
def say_hello() -> str:
    return "Hello, World!"

This defines a simple task that returns a greeting string. You can call this task like a regular Python function or use it within a Flyte workflow. For more details, see the official Flyte "Hello, World!" example. Would you like to see how to use this task in a workflow?

@ancient-wolf-19325 show me a code example of a task in which the URL of the flyte execution is being generated

Here is an example of a Flyte task that, after being executed remotely using FlyteRemote, generates and prints the URL of its execution in the Flyte Console:

from flytekit import task
from flytekit.remote import FlyteRemote
from flytekit.configuration import Config

@task
def say_hello(name: str) -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

# Set up FlyteRemote connection
remote = FlyteRemote(
    config=Config.for_sandbox(),
    default_project="flytesnacks",
    default_domain="development",
)

# Execute the task remotely
execution = remote.execute(say_hello, inputs={"name": "Flyte"}, wait=True)

# Generate and print the execution URL
url = remote.generate_console_url(execution)
print(f"Execution url: {url}")

This code launches the task, waits for completion, and prints the direct URL to the execution in the Flyte Console. The URL is generated in the script itself using

remote.generate_console_url(execution)

as described in the documentation. Would you like more detail or an example for workflows? Sources: - Running and scheduling workflows (see "Print out the Flyte console URL") 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@ancient-wolf-19325 I want the task itself to log the url to a specific db

Flyte tasks do not have access to their own execution URL at runtime within the task itself, because the URL is constructed externally (e.g., by FlyteRemote or the Flyte Console) and is not available as a context variable inside the task. The execution context inside a task provides the execution ID, project, and domain, but not the full console URL. This limitation is discussed in community issues and is not currently supported natively by Flyte. You can, however, construct a partial URL using the execution context (project, domain, execution_id) and your known Flyte Console base URL, but you must hardcode the URL pattern. There is no built-in API to fetch the full execution URL from within the task at runtime. See community discussion for details. Would you like a code example of how to construct such a URL manually in your task?
