Question

Hi All My team just started using Prefect and we are facing some growing pains I have a flow that runs fine locally but when I register it and run it through a Local Agent the Agent is able to pick it up but the flow is failing because it s not reading secrets stored in Prefect Cloud even though the secrets are there Please see screenshots Any help is appreciated Thanks

Kevin Kho · Answer

Hi < Zhibin Dai> could you show me the code that causes this

Kevin Kho · Answer

Can you try doing this on the box with the agent ```from prefect client import Secret Secret GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN get ``` and then print that to see if you can retrieve it

Zhibin Dai · Answer

yeah ill try that

Zhibin Dai · Answer

```FLOW NAME = 02 dbt staging GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN = PrefectSecret GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN STORAGE = GitHub repo= path=f flows ppi FLOW NAME py access token secret=GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN ```

Zhibin Dai · Answer

this is the code i removed the repo here but its in the real code

Kevin Kho · Answer

Ah ok `PrefectSecret GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN ` is evaluated during the Flow run because it is a task so you should only use it inside Flows You can use `Secret get ` here instead

Zhibin Dai · Answer

When i use secret get its saying the literal gh token string is not found ``` 20 41 03 | ERROR | Failed to load and execute Flow s environment KeyError The secret ghp R was not found Please ensure that it was set correctly in your tenant <https docs prefect io orchestration concepts secrets html> ```

Zhibin Dai · Answer

```GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN = Secret GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN get STORAGE = GitHub repo= path=f flows ppi FLOW NAME py access token secret=GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN ```

Kevin Kho · Answer

Oh sorry you don t even need that `access token secret` takes in a string

Kevin Kho · Answer

`access token secret= GITHUB ACCESS TOKEN ` and then Prefect will fetch the secret for you Just take out the line that uses the String

Zhibin Dai · Answer

the keyerror is gone but now im getting 404

Zhibin Dai · Answer

```Failed to load and execute Flow s environment UnknownObjectException 404 message Not Found ```

Kevin Kho · Answer

That s better Is it right that repo is ` ` or you took it out just to paste the code What is `FLOW NAME` in that script

Zhibin Dai · Answer

FLOW NAME = 02 dbt staging

Zhibin Dai · Answer

the repo is populated

Kevin Kho · Answer

Could you DM me your script just so I can see if everything looks good

Kevin Kho · Answer

It actually looks good man

Kevin Kho · Answer

At this point I can only think your token doesn t have permissions to that path or the file really doesn t exist

Zhibin Dai · Answer

i think its a branch issue now

Zhibin Dai · Answer

how do i specify a feature branch

Kevin Kho · Answer

I think there is a `ref` keyword in Github storage

Kevin Kho · Answer
