prefect.runtime.flow_run

Access attributes of the current flow run dynamically.

Note that if a flow run cannot be discovered, all attributes will return empty values.

You can mock the runtime attributes for testing purposes by setting environment variables prefixed with PREFECT__RUNTIME__FLOW_RUN.

Available attributes

• id: the flow run's unique ID
• tags: the flow run's set of tags
• scheduled_start_time: the flow run's expected scheduled start time; defaults to now if not present
• name: the name of the flow run
• flow_name: the name of the flow
• parameters: the parameters that were passed to this run; note that these do not necessarily include default values set on the flow function, only the parameter values explicitly passed for the run
• parent_flow_run_id: the ID of the flow run that triggered this run, if any
• parent_deployment_id: the ID of the deployment that triggered this run, if any
• run_count: the number of times this flow run has been run
