I have a metaflow flowspec with a decorator @some_decorator(parameter="something"). Is it possible to set things up so that I can set the parameter to the decorator via a command line parameter when I run the flow?
I tried a couple of approaches, but reached dead ends.
metaflow.Parameter won't work because the parameter only becomes available once we've entered the flow, whereas I need when the decorator is called.argparse. But it turns out the flow file gets executed several times by metaflow, with different arguments, so this did not work.Yes, you can rely on config support within Metaflow to pass these values from the command line. Here are the official docs for this - https://docs.metaflow.org/metaflow/configuring-flows/basic-configuration#defining-config-files
