is there a way I can test/debug stack outputs without doing deployment steps? so I just want to fetch a value from the existing configuration without changing anything, which doesn't seem to work and I'd like to debug what is it doing

const nginxIngress = new k8s.yaml.ConfigFile("nginx-ingress", {
    file: "./kubernetes/yamls/nginx-ingress-v0.40.1.yaml",
}, { provider });
const nginxLoadBalancer = nginxIngress.getResource("v1/Service", "ingress-nginx-controller");

export const externalIps = nginxLoadBalancer.spec.externalIPs;

so this is what I have now but

externalIps

is empty and the stack output says

No output values currently in this stack

rough-parrot-6341

I'm guessing the way I try to get the external IP is not correct, but I have no idea how would I start debugging this

I didn't figure out a better way to test this, but the issue itself was resolved by adding the correct namespace to the

getResource

call and the actual IP was found from

nginxLoadBalancer.status.loadBalancer.ingress

can I somehow dynamically build a kubernetes resource without defining it in yaml and importing from configfile?

rough-parrot-6341

something not built in

I want to define a cert-manager ClusterIssuer

well this is unfortunate

a helm chart is creating a random certificate on install, which pulumi naturally diffs on every execution and correctly identifies as having changed

rough-parrot-6341

10/04/2020, 11:40 PM

but since the chart is rendered during runtime, I don't really know how should I write the

ignoreChanges

clause for that

rough-parrot-6341

10/04/2020, 11:40 PM

rough-parrot-6341

10/04/2020, 11:41 PM

how would I go about ignoring this change?

rough-parrot-6341

10/04/2020, 11:41 PM

given that I'm just refering a helm chart

rough-parrot-6341

10/04/2020, 11:46 PM

I suppose one option is to generate the dynamically generated parts myself and get a handle on them that way, but that feels like a workaround that shouldn't be required

rough-parrot-6341

I can see they're listed under the chart resource as "children" according to pulumi

rough-parrot-6341

10/05/2020, 12:02 AM

rough-parrot-6341

10/05/2020, 12:02 AM

but is it even possible to ignore changes to children? the other use cases seem to ignore changes to properties, which seem to be treated differently

rough-parrot-6341

10/05/2020, 12:11 AM

ah right, so the issue is that

ignoreChanges

only works for properties defined in the code, not for what pulumi checks for state-sync

rough-parrot-6341

10/05/2020, 12:17 AM

the more I try to deploy helm charts with pulumi the more it feels like I shouldn't do that

rough-parrot-6341

10/05/2020, 12:17 AM

it just so happens many stacks are distributed as helm charts

If I create my own subclass of

ComponentResource

, is it obliged to create my resources in the constructor? Or can I delay the creation of (some of) them?

Also inside of its constructor, you will allocate any child resources, passing the
parent
option as appropriate to ensure component children are parented correctly.

Hey folks, wondering if there's a way of unexporting/removing a stack output for good. Couldn't find one in the docs / open issues

is it possible to inject additional config values at runtime outside of tests? I have a secret stored on AWS that I need to inject while using the github provider, I wanted to avoid storing as a config secret and as env var. What I am trying to do is fetching it at runtime for further use but it is not working

Hi, are you planning to add Gtihub Org level secret support?

Is it possible to move an entire Pulumi program from one Git repo to another without disrupting any of the resources?

rough-parrot-6341

10/05/2020, 1:45 PM

I don't think the program is linked to the git repo, but to the stack

rough-parrot-6341

10/05/2020, 1:45 PM

So I'd imagine you're fine as long as you connect it to the correct stack
