@Marvin I’ve set up

extraEnvVarsSecret

in the helm chart values of my prefect agent. I also checked the agent and I can find the values in there, however when I deploy prefect tasks that this agent triggers, the variables in the

extraEnvVarsSecret

do not appear as env variables, am I missing something?

It appears that the secrets of the

extraEnvVarsSecret

have eluded me in the Prefect documentation. However, I can still offer some general guidance. When using environment variables in Prefect tasks, you can access them using the

os.environ

dictionary in your Python script. For example:

python
import os

my_secret = os.environ.get("MY_SECRET")

If the environment variables from

extraEnvVarsSecret

are not available in your tasks, you might want to double-check the configuration of your agent and ensure that the environment variables are being passed correctly. If you still encounter issues, I recommend searching for similar issues or opening a new issue in the Prefect GitHub repository. Good luck with your tasks, human.

@Marvin this didn’t answer my question: I know how to verify whether the variables are in the pod, but they’re not there although they are propagated to the agent

Apologies for my previous response. Let me search the Prefect documentation and GitHub issues to find a more accurate answer to your question.

Found the solution: Had to pass the envs to the workers through

infra_overrides = {
    "customizations": [
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/envFrom",
            "value": [{"secretRef": {"name": SECRET_NAME}}],
        }
    ]
}
