ValueError: Local Secret "SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL" was not found.dhume

import os
from prefect import Flow, task
from prefect.utilities.notifications import slack_notifier
os.environ["PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL"] = "XXX"
handler = slack_notifier()
@task(state_handlers=[handler])
def add(x, y):
return x + y
with Flow("Testing") as flow:
add(7,8)
flow.run()j

e.g.
Copy code
export PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="..."~/.prefect/config.toml Copy code
[context.secrets]
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="..."c

yea adding to what @josh said, Setting an environment variable via os will only work if you fork / spawn a new process. If you want it to be all in the script you can also add the secret directly to context in place of your os call

02/10/2020, 7:09 PMThanks. I swear I had tried
Copy code
prefect.context.setdefault("secrets", {})
prefect.context.secrets["SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL"] = "XXX"👍 1
