06/15/2022, 5:07 PMHi Folks, I'm finding myself in a pickle I was in before, where I'm trying to just pull a secret from my cloud setup, and I did this in my python script in the last place I ran prefect, but I can't get it to work.
While I was developing, I was able to simply set the use_local_secrets = False, and I could just pull down a secret, but I can't get it to work anymore. I only see one short blurb about getting cloud secrets in the prefect API docs around secrets. Can someone help me with the right commands? I'm getting a message that it keeps looking for it locally

I think you want:
Copy code
export PREFECT__CLOUD__USE_LOCAL_SECRETS=falsej

06/15/2022, 5:14 PMThat's for the CLI though, right? Wasn't there a python command for this?

06/15/2022, 5:25 PMOh I had to make one, I discovered. I located the ".prefect/" dir, then used touch and vi to create a config file with that one setting in it
Jacob Bedard
06/15/2022, 5:25 PMI was able to pull it down after that

06/15/2022, 5:25 PMThanks for checking. It might be good to add a note in the config docs page that the document doesn't exist until you make it
