@Marvin Why might this error be occurring? ValueError: Unable to find block document named AwsCredentials for block type aws-credentials

The error you're encountering, "ValueError: Unable to find block document named AwsCredentials for block type aws-credentials," typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons: 1. Block Not Created or Registered: Ensure that the
AwsCredentials
block has been created and registered in your Prefect environment. You can create and register the block using the code snippet below:
Copy code
python
   from prefect_aws import AwsCredentials

   aws_credentials_block = AwsCredentials(
       aws_access_key_id="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
       aws_secret_access_key="YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
   )
   aws_credentials_block.save("BLOCK_NAME")
2. Wrong Block Name: Double-check the block name you are using in your code. It must match the name used when saving the block. 3. Missing or Outdated Dependencies: Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed, such as
prefect-aws
. You can install it via pip:
Copy code
sh
   pip install prefect-aws
4. Incorrect Documentation Reference: Make sure you are following the correct documentation and examples from Prefect AWS credentials documentation. ### Example Usage Here is an example of how you could load an existing
AwsCredentials
block:
Copy code
python
from prefect_aws import AwsCredentials

aws_credentials_block = AwsCredentials.load("BLOCK_NAME")
