Is there a way to use a StackReference in the Pulumi Automation API? When I attempt to initialize a new StackReference, it complains at runtime

Trying to acquire Deployment.Instance before 'Run' was called.

any ideas why

stack.up

takes

Duration: 1m6s

and when this message appears, to resolve the Promise and give me output back it takes like another 1min (typescript)

It feels like there aren't that many dotnet/c# devs out there so I posted an example skeleton using dotnet automation api for cli to the discussions

We definitely exist :) my primary use-case is using Automation API in an AspNetCore API. Or more specifically in a background worker after being triggered by a request to the Web API

dozens of us

Can I use the automation API within a resource to query if the resource is being invoked from a Create or Update?

Hey all! 🙂 I'm attempting to create and validate a certificate in route53 for a new hosted zone, but I'm getting a little lost and confused with Outputs and apply and how that relates to lists. I've used apply successfully elsewhere, but basically I'm trying to figure out how I can get the

domain_validation_options

from the creation of my certificate and then loop through them, creating a record for each. I'll share my python in a comment. I'm a newbie all around so it's very probably I've just done something that won't work period 😂

Hey there! 🙂 I have a pulumi program that saves it's state to an S3 bucket. Everytime I run pulumi destroy, I get the message about needing to remove the configuration files. Via the cli, I know how to do this. Is there a way to force that to happen with the automation API? I know I can just go delete the files / folder from S3, but I want to confirm there isn't an easier way first. Thanks!

Is there a way to check if a stack is currently locked? eg if I wanted to block deploying a commit within github actions until an earlier deploy had finished

Hi. The Pulumi testing documentation (https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/testing/) indicates it’s possible to do Unit Tests without the Pulumi CLI available. Does this include Automation API scenarios? If so, how do you set that up?

What's up everyone, so cool there's a community channel for the automation api

I'm trying to run pulumi automation API in AWS lambda but I'm running into

mkdir /home/sbx_user1051: read-only file system

. That makes sense, since only

/tmp

is writable in Lambda, but I'm struggling to find the right setting to configure the write location for automation API. Has anyone run into this?

Hey everyone! I'm trying to run pulumi in lambda and having a hard time. I keep getting the error:

}

I've already created a layer with pulumi as an executable, and I've set

PULUMI_HOME

to

/tmp

but I'm still getting this error. Any ideas? I'm using python.

Hello yet again! 🙂 I want to save my stack exports as values / strings in DynamoDB, but I'm unsure how to refer to my outputs. I am exporting values and see them as Outputs, but I don't knw how to access them to save them outside of the stack.

Outputs:
artifact_bucket_name      : "12345-dev-codebuild-artifacts"
asg_name                  : "12345-dev"
etc ...

Is there a way to configure

await stack.workspace.installPlugin(plugin.name, plugin.version);

to use the version installed in npm_modules? We use renovate to auto upgrade dependencies but i have to manually go in and fix up the plugin versions each time.

Hi there! I’m trying to configure Pulumi to use Localstack for the AWS provider with

s.SetConfig(ctx, "aws:endpoints.route53", auto.ConfigValue{Value: "<http://localstack.localstack:4566>"})

, but the provider keeps crashing saying “cannot validate config.” Is there another syntax I should try for setting this nested object like this?

[Python] How can I get a stack's config file path? I know it's

Pulumi.<stack>.yaml

, but can I avoid hardcoding this? If the last operation I do is

stack.set_all_config(...)

, I'm looking to follow it up with something like

print(stack.<config_file_path>)

. Is something like this available?

Is there a way to find out if the

--skip-preview

flag was passed in your pulumi application?

Hi, Is there a method call to retrieve the input passed to the stack using stackReference ?

There's no reference to my current project in the stack (dev.json) I just deployed. Where is project metadata stored (if at all) when using an s3 backend with the automation API?

I'm using Automation API and attempting to set KMS as the secrets provider. I thought this was being done but looking at the stack metadata in S3 I'm seeing

"secrets_providers": {"type": "passphrase",...

I'm also being prompted for

PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE

which is what started me along this journey... Can somebody tell me what I'm missing? Here's my code:

backend_url = f"s3://{backend_bucket}"
secrets_provider = f"<awskms://alias/{kms_alias_name}>"
project_settings=auto.ProjectSettings(
    name='test',
    runtime="python",
    backend={"url": backend_url}
)
stack_settings=auto.StackSettings(
   secrets_provider=secrets_provider)
stack = auto.create_or_select_stack(stack_name='dev',
                                    project_name='test',
                                    program=pulumi_program,
                                    opts=auto.LocalWorkspaceOptions(project_settings=project_settings,
                                                                    stack_settings={'dev': stack_settings}))
print("successfully initialized stack")

Hey there everyone! I am trying to launch pulumi in my aws account and have it create resources in a different account. I already have a role set up that allows my lambda admin access (just for testing) to the other account. How do I pass in that role to pulumi? Currently I'm passing in the aws access key and secret, and I'm just not sure how I pass in a role instead...?

With automation API how can I set a config element that has a path?:

pulumi config set --path '["parent.name"].["nested.name"]' value will set the value of parent.name to a map nested.name: value.

Is there a way to set a project to encrypt all exports by default?

What is the correct way to catch and handle errors with the Pulumi Automation API? Here's a very small sample where we do not set the

new ec2.Instance()

arguments properly Errors like this result in a large number of

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarnings

, fills up our logging, and if running in an unattended loop seem to crash the Pulumi runtime If someone is able to advise on the best approach for handling

stack.up()

errors, we'd appreciate it!

[python] how do i specify the automation API equivalents of

--debug --logflow --verbose 9

?

Hey! What is the correct way to get a stack reference in async task in C#?

class Program
    {
        static async Task<int> Main(string[] args)
        {
            var stack = new Pulumi.StackReference("path to stack");

I get error

Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Trying to acquire Deployment.Instance before 'Run' was called.

Hi guys, is there any way to delete a stack itself via automation API? Something equivalent to

pulumi stack rm

?

Is there a way to tell if my automation program is correctly using Azure Key Vault as the secret provider? I've set this up as below and it doesn't error, but when I run the app and it creates the config file it does not contain the "secretsprovider" and "encryptedkey" values that I would expect to see, just the "encryptionsalt" value, which leads me to think it is still using the local provider.

var stackArgs = new LocalProgramArgs(stackName, $"{_workingDir}/{projectName}");

stackArgs.SecretsProvider = "<azurekeyvault://xxxxxx.vault.azure.net/keys/pulumi>";

var stack = await  LocalWorkspace.CreateOrSelectStackAsync(stackArgs);
