## Methods

#### serialize_all()

```python
def serialize_all(
    pkgs: typing.List[str],
    local_source_root: typing.Optional[str],
    folder: typing.Optional[str],
    mode: typing.Optional[flytekit.clis.sdk_in_container.serialize.SerializationMode],
    image_config: typing.Optional[flytekit.configuration.ImageConfig],
    flytekit_virtualenv_root: typing.Optional[str],
    python_interpreter: typing.Optional[str],
    config_file: typing.Optional[str],
    env: typing.Optional[typing.Dict[str, str]],
)
```
This function will write to the folder specified the following protobuf types
```
flyteidl.admin.launch_plan_pb2.LaunchPlan
flyteidl.admin.workflow_pb2.WorkflowSpec
flyteidl.admin.task_pb2.TaskSpec
```

These can be inspected by calling (in the launch plan case)
```bash
flyte-cli parse-proto -f filename.pb -p flyteidl.admin.launch_plan_pb2.LaunchPlan
```

See {{< py_class_ref flytekit.models.core.identifier.ResourceType >}}   to match the trailing index in the file name with the
entity type.
