# Fix for Issue #2356: Missing Parentheses in Flow Documentation ## Issue In the "first-flow.mdx" documentation, there's an error in the code example where a task method reference is missing parentheses: ```python @task def review_section_task(self) -> Task: return Task( config=self.tasks_config['review_section_task'], context=[self.write_section_task] # Missing parentheses ) ``` This causes an AttributeError when running `crewai flow kickoff` because the Flow system requires explicit method calls with parentheses. ## Error Message When users follow the documentation and use the code as shown, they encounter this error: ``` AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'get' ``` ## Root Cause The core issue is that the Flow system in CrewAI requires explicit method calls with parentheses when processing context tasks. This is implemented in the `_map_task_variables` method in `crew_base.py`: ```python if context_list := task_info.get("context"): self.tasks_config[task_name]["context"] = [ tasks[context_task_name]() for context_task_name in context_list ] ``` When users follow the documentation and use `context=[self.write_section_task]` without parentheses, they get an AttributeError because a function object doesn't have a `get` attribute. ## Fix The correct code should be: ```python @task def review_section_task(self) -> Task: return Task( config=self.tasks_config['review_section_task'], context=[self.write_section_task()] # Added parentheses ) ``` ## Verification I've created a minimal reproducible example that demonstrates both the error and the fix. The error occurs because in `crew_base.py`, the `_map_task_variables` method explicitly requires method calls with parentheses when processing context tasks. ## Documentation Update Needed The documentation at docs.crewai.com/guides/flows/first-flow needs to be updated to show the correct syntax with parentheses.
