10/11/2023, 3:40 PMQuick question about creating a custom Kedro starter. How do you pass the credential you enter at prompt (kedro new --starter=mystarter) to conf/local/credentials.yml ?

10/11/2023, 3:42 PMSo you need to edit prompts.yml, add the scope to
cookiecutter.json{{variable}}thankyou 1
Now, there is a question on whether that’s the best way to do it - I think environment variables are a better strategy heere

10/11/2023, 3:56 PMThank you for the suggestion. I tried approach one as the following:
Copy code
# prompts.yml
my_token:
title: "My Token"
text: |
Please enter a token
# cookiecutter.json
{
"project_name": "New Kedro Project",
"repo_name": "{{ cookiecutter.project_name.strip().replace(' ', '-').replace('_', '-').lower() }}",
"my_token": "{{ mytoken }}",
}but I got an error when using token: {{my_token}} in credentials.yml
Copy code
Error: Failed to generate project when running cookiecutter.d

raise UndefinedVariableInTemplate(msg, err, context) from err

10/11/2023, 4:11 PMokay I think you need to change things:
Copy code
{
"project_name": "New Kedro Project",
"repo_name": "{{ cookiecutter.project_name.strip().replace(' ', '-').replace('_', '-').lower() }}",
"my_token": "{{ cookiecutter.mytoken }}",
}g

my_tokenmytoken Copy code
"my_token": "{{ cookiecutter.my_token }}",g

10/26/2023, 10:09 AMThanks for looking into it. It was a typo in my question. It didn't work because Kedro doesn't give access to credentials.yml except for data catalog.

10/26/2023, 10:12 AMIs there anything we could have done to make the error message clearer?
