how to run an execution from a launchplan with flytesdk

I'm trying to use the flytesdk to run an execution from a launch plan. I was given an example of 

lp = SdkLaunchPlan.fetch('project', 'domain', 'name',  'version')
ex = lp.execute('project', 'domain' inputs={'a': 1, 'b': 'hello'}, <name='optional idempotency string'>)

but it looks like SdkLaunchPlan.execute() is not implemented but SdkLaunchPlan.execute_with_literals() is.

I was able to execute it with this code:

#I omitted the version parameter because the launch plan is active    
lp = flytekit.common.launch_plan.SdkLaunchPlan.fetch(project="prj", domain="development", name="train.single.test_launch_plan")
literals = flytekit.clis.helpers.construct_literal_map_from_parameter_map(lp.default_inputs, {"depth": "False"})
lp.execute_with_literals("prj", "development", literal_inputs=literals)

is this the correct way of doing this or is there a better one?

My bad, it looks like my editor's (VSCode) autocomplete did not recognize the .execute() method...I tried it anyways and it's working as advertised

Which version of flytekit are you on? Both should work. I think execute is a bit easier to use when you have an ipython terminal running. I was able to launch an execution on my cluster with the following commands.

(examples3) alice:~ [docker-desktop] $ ipython
Python 3.7.5 (default, Nov  1 2019, 02:16:32)
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 7.7.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.

In [1]: from flytekit.clis.flyte_cli.main import _detect_default_config_file
Using default config file at /Users/alice/.flyte/config

In [2]: from flytekit.common.launch_plan import SdkLaunchPlan

In [3]: lp = SdkLaunchPlan.fetch("flyteexamples", "development", "app.workflows.work.WorkflowWithIO", "8f49b8d8c04251865a7a8aba1b423293efc51374")

In [4]: lp.execute('flyteexamples', 'development', inputs={'a': 42, 'b': 'hello world'})

The code for execute_with_literals is here: https://github.com/lyft/flytekit/blob/5a0a8da9251bd13bd67b71e0b05b6e59ecb970f9/flytekit/common/launch_plan.py#L186

And the code for execute is here: https://github.com/lyft/flytekit/blob/5a0a8da9251bd13bd67b71e0b05b6e59ecb970f9/flytekit/common/mixins/executable.py#L8

The difference between the two is that one is meant to work with raw Python literals and the other is meant to work with Flyte literal types.
