[google-cloud-sql-discuss] KeyError: 'SECRET_KEY' on Secret Manager

I want to run a Django application on the App Engine flexible environment.

I follow the documentation step by step (https://cloud.google.com/python/django/flexible-environment).

For the Django sample app, on Cloud SQL I'm using PostgreSQL

I store the secret values (Django settings) in Secret Manager, (https://cloud.google.com/python/django/flexible-environment#store-secret-values-in-secret-manager)

Now with the backing services configured, I try to run the sample app on my computer (I mean the sample app provided by the documentation https://cloud.google.com/python/django/flexible-environment#clone_a_sample_app)

At step 4, "Run the Django migrations to set up your models and assets" when I run the  "python manage.py makemigrations" command I get a series of errors:

File "C:\Users\zzz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\environ\environ.py", line 367, in get_value
    value = self.ENVIRON[var]
  File "C:\Users\zzz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\os.py", line 679, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'SECRET_KEY'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

....

File "C:\Users\zzz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\environ\environ.py", line 371, in get_value
    raise ImproperlyConfigured(error_msg)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Set the SECRET_KEY environment variable

What could be the cause? I followed the documentation step by step.

Of course, on the code samples I edited the db name, the db password, project ID, region, instance name, bucket name etc

Thank you!
