Secret from esphome command line woes

ESPHome
1

Hi,

I can’t use esphome on my raspi 3 as it runs out of mem, but I use podman on my fedora laptop. Otherwise it’s all ok, but I can’t figure out what I do wrong with secrets.yaml. I followed the instructions and added these bits:

<<: !include ./foo.yaml

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

I have the foo.yaml:

 cat foo.yaml 
---

wifi_ssid: ssssssssss
wifi_password: ppppppp

and get an error while running esphome:

$ podman run --rm -v "${PWD}":/config:z  -it docker.io/esphome/esphome config glow.yml
INFO Reading configuration glow.yml...
INFO Detected timezone 'Etc/UTC'
Failed config

wifi_ssid: [source ./foo.yaml:3]
  
  Component not found: wifi_ssid.
  ssssssssss
wifi_password: [source ./foo.yaml:4]
  
  Component not found: wifi_password.

So it clearly finds the foo.yaml (my real stuff is in secrets.yaml, just made dummy file to copy paste here) but for some reason errors while including the secrets. What do I do wrong?

If I have the password in glow.yaml, everything works fine.

I think the secrets.yaml is a special !include and you are not able to name it differently :thinking:

thanks, but I just made foo.yaml for copy pasting it here. I get the same error when I have

<<: !include ./secrets.yaml

As far as I can tell, this is still an issue. Has anyone found a fix?
