potiuk opened a new pull request #17935: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/17935
When Secrets Backend are instantiated during configuration, not all Airlfow packages are yet imported, because they need Secret Backends. We have a weird cyclical relation between models, configuration and settins which forces us to be extra careful around configuration, settings and backends. In this case top-level import of Connections by the Vault Secret Backend triggered cyclic import problem (importing airflow models require configuration to be fully loaded and initialized) but then it could not be initialized because models needed to be imported first. The fix is to move Connections to be locally imported. <!-- Thank you for contributing! Please make sure that your code changes are covered with tests.
