cannot turn off checkpointing with prefect server

See original GitHub issue

Description

prefect server start does not respect turning off checkpointing.

Expected Behavior

Files should not be written to ~/.prefect/results if checkpointing is turned off.

Have tried:

@prefect.task(checkpoint=False)

in config.toml:

[flows]
checkpointing = false

Reproduction

Run prefect server start with a task using @prefect.task(checkpoint=False) and see task write result to ~/.prefect/result.

Sounds like 0.11.0 should be going out next week, so we will revisit whether this is still a bug then since based on the above conversation the offending line should be removed from that release.

@joshmeek yea for sure, actually that entire function was removed in the new PR so I think that will close this issue once it’s released.
