This occurs when a string is attached to the state instead of an exception or if the state's data is null. ### `FailedRun` Raised when the result from a failed run is retrieved and an exception is not attached. This occurs when a string is attached to the state instead of an exception or if the state's data is null. ### `CancelledRun` Raised when the result from a cancelled run is retrieved and an exception is not attached. This occurs when a string is attached to the state instead of an exception or if the state's data is null. ### `PausedRun` Raised when the result from a paused run is retrieved. ### `UnfinishedRun` Raised when the result from a run that is not finished is retrieved. For example, if a run is in a SCHEDULED, PENDING, CANCELLING, or RUNNING state. ### `MissingFlowError` Raised when a given flow name is not found in the expected script. ### `UnspecifiedFlowError` Raised when multiple flows are found in the expected script and no name is given. ### `MissingResult` Raised when a result is missing from a state; often when result persistence is disabled and the state is retrieved from the API. ### `ScriptError` Raised when a script errors during evaluation while attempting to load data ### `ParameterTypeError` Raised when a parameter does not pass Pydantic type validation. **Methods:** #### `from_validation_error` ```python theme={null} from_validation_error(cls, exc: ValidationError) -> Self ``` ### `ParameterBindError` Raised when args and kwargs cannot be converted to parameters. **Methods:** #### `from_bind_failure` ```python theme={null} from_bind_failure(cls, fn: Callable[..., Any], exc: TypeError, call_args: tuple[Any, ...], call_kwargs: dict[str, Any]) -> Self ``` ### `SignatureMismatchError` Raised when parameters passed to a function do not match its signature. **Methods:** #### `from_bad_params` ```python theme={null} from_bad_params(cls, expected_params: list[str], provided_params: list[str]) -> Self ``` ### `ObjectNotFound` Raised when the client receives a 404 (not found) from the API. ### `ObjectAlreadyExists` Raised when the client receives a 409 (conflict) from the API. ### `ObjectLimitReached` Raised when the client receives a 403 (forbidden) from the API due to reaching an object limit (e.g. maximum number of deployments). ### `ObjectUnsupported` Raised when the client receives a 403 (forbidden) from the API due to an unsupported object (i.e. requires a specific Prefect Cloud tier). ### `UpstreamTaskError` Raised when a task relies on the result of another task but that task is not 'COMPLETE' ### `MissingContextError` Raised when a method is called that requires a task or flow run context to be active but one cannot be found. ### `MissingProfileError` Raised when a profile name does not exist. ### `ReservedArgumentError` Raised when a function used with Prefect has an argument with a name that is reserved for a Prefect feature ### `InvalidNameError` Raised when a name contains characters that are not permitted. ### `PrefectSignal` Base type for signal-like exceptions that should never be caught by users. ### `Abort` Raised when the API sends an 'ABORT' instruction during state proposal. Indicates that the run should exit immediately. ### `Pause` Raised when a flow run is PAUSED and needs to exit for resubmission. ### `ExternalSignal` Base type for external signal-like exceptions that should never be caught by users. ### `TerminationSignal` Raised when a flow run receives a termination signal. ### `PrefectHTTPStatusError` Raised when client receives a `Response` that contains an HTTPStatusError. Used to include API error details in the error messages that the client provides users. **Methods:** #### `from_httpx_error` ```python theme={null} from_httpx_error(cls: type[Self], httpx_error: HTTPStatusError) -> Self ``` Generate a `PrefectHTTPStatusError` from an `httpx.HTTPStatusError`. ### `MappingLengthMismatch` Raised when attempting to call Task.map with arguments of different lengths. ### `MappingMissingIterable` Raised when attempting to call Task.map with all static arguments ### `BlockMissingCapabilities` Raised when a block does not have required capabilities for a given operation. ### `ProtectedBlockError` Raised when an operation is prevented due to block protection. ### `InvalidRepositoryURLError` Raised when an incorrect URL is provided to a GitHub filesystem block. ### `InfrastructureError` A base class for exceptions related to infrastructure blocks ### `InfrastructureNotFound` Raised when infrastructure is missing, likely because it has exited or been deleted. ### `InfrastructureNotAvailable` Raised when infrastructure is not accessible from the current machine. For example, if a process was spawned on another machine it cannot be managed. ### `NotPausedError` Raised when attempting to unpause a run that isn't paused. ### `FlowPauseTimeout` Raised when a flow pause times out ### `FlowRunWaitTimeout` Raised when a flow run takes longer than a given timeout ### `PrefectImportError` An error raised when a Prefect object cannot be imported due to a move or removal. ### `SerializationError` Raised when an object cannot be serialized. ### `ConfigurationError` Raised when a configuration is invalid. ### `EventTooLarge` Raised when an event exceeds the configured maximum size. ### `ProfileSettingsValidationError` Raised when a profile settings are invalid. ### `HashError` Raised when hashing objects fails Built with [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com).
