We suggest that you use <https docs prefect io ui blocks |block> to save your credentials in 2 0

no I m using 1 x version Also I m trying to setup in local development runtime environment Not in UI

Tony Yun · Answer

basically when I run CLI `python flow py` it is fetching the secrets fine But when I run unit tests it is not fetching the secrets even after I set the python setting to setup this environment variable `PREFECT USER CONFIG PATH`

Hey < Tony Yun> I m having some trouble visualizing this in my head when you re referring to a local runtime environment are you just referring to a virtual environment on your local machine or a container image when the code is running

Tony Yun · Answer

a virtual environment on my local machine I can do `export PREFECT USER CONFIG PATH=~ prefect config` so if I run `python flow py` it will fetch the secrets properly How can I fetch the secrets too if I want to run an unit test on VScode

Tony Yun · Answer

I ve dumped `PREFECT USER CONFIG PATH` as part of `os environ` however it didn t help so I wonder what s the trick to load the Prefect secrets locally

Tony Yun · Answer
