Hello all, I am new to Prefect and having a hard time getting my github access token picked up when running a flow on the kubernetes agent. I have set the env variable

PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN

on the agent pod but I keep getting this error

ValueError('Local Secret "GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN" was not found.')

. Does the default secret not get created when using the kubernetes agent?

Hello! Did you pass a secret to the agent using --env flag?

Thanks for the reply! No I did not, is the only way to get them to the agent to use

--env

when starting the agent? The docs seem a vague but I will try that

Setting env with

PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN

should work, but I would check setting env variable with --env flag. If you'll not figure this out, please open the issue, because it sounds like a bug.

just to circle back.. i was able to fix it by setting the

env

property in the

run_config

I'm glad it worked for you!
