Hi prefect community! I'm new to prefect and cannot figure out why secrets don't work for me. I'm using windows. I have env var set "PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__AZURE_DEMO="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=.... ", but when running code

from prefect.tasks.azure.blobstorage import (
    BlobStorageDownload
)

storage = BlobStorageDownload(azure_credentials_secret="AZURE_DEMO", 
                              container="mycontainer")

storage.run(blob_name="demo")

I'm getting

ValueError: Local Secret "AZURE_DEMO" was not found.

I tried setting AZURE_DEMO in config.toml but getting same result. What am I doing wrong?

@Maria are you using Prefect Cloud or Server? I suggest to check your config to see if your using local secrets or cloud secrets

@ale I'm using Prefect Server; after additional debugging I can see secrets defined in config.toml fine (Yay! 🎉), regardless of the value

use_local_secrets = true (or false);

but cannot get env var to work: I don't see them in

prefect.context.get("secrets", {})

, again regardless of the use_local_secrets. Tried defining them both as user env var and system env var.

Hey @Maria 😊 I see that the value of your secret contains the character

=

. I believe that for using such secrets with

--env

you have to upgrade Prefect to the latest version as mentioned here https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/4160

oh that's interesting! thanks!
