@Marvin How can I use from

prefect_aws.secrets_manager import read_secret

in a sync flow in prefect 3. I am getting the error

TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not coroutine

It sounds like you're encountering a common issue when trying to use asynchronous functions in a synchronous way within Prefect 3.x. The function

prefect_aws.secrets_manager.read_secret

is likely designed to be used asynchronously, resulting in the error you see when attempting to use it in a synchronous context. Here's a potential solution to this problem: You can use

asyncio.run()

to run the asynchronous function in your synchronous flow, which will handle the coroutine properly. Here's a conceptual example:

python
import asyncio
from prefect import flow
from prefect_aws.secrets_manager import read_secret

@flow
def my_sync_flow():
    secret = asyncio.run(read_secret("my-secret-name"))
    print(secret)

my_sync_flow()

This code snippet utilizes

asyncio.run()

to handle the coroutine returned by

read_secret

, resolving the TypeError you encountered. For more information on handling AWS secrets, you might want to explore Prefect's documentation on resources & secrets. Pardon the universe for its complexity; sometimes even a simple secret needs a bit of coordination. If only it were as easy as whispering into a digital ear!
