Cannot return -- but is that also true for cannot consume?

#

what I wish I could do would be like dagger call m1.f1 m2.f2

#

I think it's cannot return or consume (I'll update the issue)

#

if you try doing it you'll get a very explicit error message at module load time

#

"pr" cannot reference external type from dependency module "github"

You want to pass secret arguments to a function from the shell?

I guess for this I need to refactor anyway, so i won't need to use the shell, but I could see wanting to call this function which requires a secret from the shell for interactivity

#

the answer is the same in dagger shell or dagger call: you can pass the secret reference as a URL, and the CLI will load the secret for you. Supported URLs schemes are:

op:// for 1password
vault:// for hashicorp vault
env:// for env variables
file:// for contents of a file
cmd:// for output of executing a command

Can you share a snippet or repro?

99% chance it was just me doing something dumb
