@IgV52 let me explain.
I am trying to narrow down my search radius to fix the issue being faced
here. Your issue description is not very clear for me to able to reproduce the
bug you are facing and help in fixing it.
I configured my airflow with this:
```
export AIRFLOW__SECRETS__BACKEND="airflow.secrets.metastore.MetastoreBackend"
```
And then tried a simple dag that gets a connection, somewhat like:
```
from __future__ import annotations
from airflow.models.baseoperator import BaseOperator
from airflow import DAG
from airflow.sdk import Variable
from airflow.sdk.definitions.connection import Connection
class CustomOperator(BaseOperator):
def execute(self, context):
gc = Connection.get("athena_default")
print("The conn is", gc)
print("Conn uri is", gc.get_uri())
with DAG("example_get_connection_from_defn", schedule=None, catchup=False)
as dag:
CustomOperator(task_id="print_conn")
```
This till doesn't report the error you are reporting. I get this error:
```

Errors, but works. Hence I am asking for input here.
