and kind of sucks adding the extra compile step before running.

We are considering making this simpler with https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/958. Feel free to weigh in there.

It’s my understanding that vscode would still output the exact same errors for .js files because it knows all the type information from the referenced packages and those types would flow through my script.

By default, vscode won't report errors for type violations in .js files. I believe it may honor

// @ts-check

if you opt in to use that - but I haven't tried that out myself.

Ok, thank you. 🙂 What time are you doing your twitch stream today?

We'll start at 11AM PDT (speaking of which, I should make sure the demos I was going to do actually work - I'll jump off of Slack for a bit :-)

I'm about to make sure Luke's makeup is OK, however, before I do so, here's the link for your convenience

are there docs/resources for importing terraform infra to transfer management to Pulumi?

important-jackal-88836

06/20/2018, 4:59 PM

There'd have to be some way of converting a terraform state to a Pulumi export I guess.

@important-jackal-88836 A state -> checkpoint converter would be super useful, but I imagine (like with CF -> Terraform) writing the code to match the resources will be the harder part

would importing a hand-written stack be the way to import existing cloud resources in general?

Has anyone tried to use Go with Pulumi? I am having some (likely PEBKAC-y) issues.

stocky-spoon-28903

06/20/2018, 5:16 PM

@brief-manchester-79554 I was about to give it a shot. What issues are you hitting?

incalculable-sundown-82514

06/20/2018, 5:17 PM

@brief-manchester-79554 You’d probably be one of the first, our Go support is brand-new

incalculable-sundown-82514

06/20/2018, 5:17 PM

and it’s probably not PEBKAC 😄

brief-manchester-79554

06/20/2018, 5:17 PM

So. 1. The binary has to be in your PATH to use

preview

which is kinda a pain. 2. I can't seem to figure out how to install the AWS plugin, meaning,

pulumi plugin ls

shows no plugins.

brief-manchester-79554

06/20/2018, 5:17 PM

Binary == my binary, not pulumi's binary

brief-manchester-79554

06/20/2018, 5:18 PM

For 1, it'd be nice to pass a file name like

-f ./make_me_stack

or whatevs.

incalculable-sundown-82514

06/20/2018, 5:19 PM

Ah, yeah, 2 is unfortunate… we rely on package managers to do this on package install, but that doesn’t work so well for Go.

incalculable-sundown-82514

06/20/2018, 5:19 PM

I’ll make an issue for 1, thanks for pointing that out!

brief-manchester-79554

06/20/2018, 5:19 PM

Anyway I can hack a quick fix for 2?

stocky-spoon-28903

06/20/2018, 5:20 PM

For 1 it might be enough to add

to the search path for the common case, but likely needs to be overridable too in case people are putting their executables in

cmd/x/whatever

brief-manchester-79554

06/20/2018, 5:21 PM

Yeah, I did that for now.

incalculable-sundown-82514

06/20/2018, 5:21 PM

@brief-manchester-79554

pulumi plugin install resource aws 0.14

should work for that

brief-manchester-79554

06/20/2018, 5:22 PM

Yay! That worked!

brief-manchester-79554

06/20/2018, 5:22 PM

Gracias!

incalculable-sundown-82514

06/20/2018, 5:22 PM

yay! I’ll make a bug for that too. At minimum we need better docs on that

Is there a way to force drift detection to run?

stocky-spoon-28903

06/20/2018, 5:37 PM

E.g. If I edit the

Name

tag of a VPC in the AWS console, re-run my program, and then

pulumi update

I would expect to see the drift get corrected back to the output of my program.

refresh

looks like it might be the key but the workflow there is a little weird
