Hi. I’m trying to create a new network on Hetzner with code taken from this pulumi-hcloud go example but instead of

.Run

I’m using

.RunErr

to get errors:

package main

import (
	"<http://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-hcloud/sdk/go/hcloud|github.com/pulumi/pulumi-hcloud/sdk/go/hcloud>"
	"<http://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi|github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi>"
	"log"
)

func main() {

	err := pulumi.RunErr(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		log.Println("Creating new network...")

		network, err := hcloud.NewNetwork(ctx, "demo-network", &hcloud.NetworkArgs{
			IpRange: pulumi.String("10.0.10.0/24"),
			Name:    pulumi.String("demo-project"),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}

		ctx.Export("networkName", network.Name)
		return nil
	})

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Error creating network: ", err)
	}
}

When I build and run the binary, I get an error:

missing project name

. Where does the project name go? Don’t I already give it a project name “demo-network”? The docs call that parameter a “unique name”. So I’m not sure.

Hello! AFAIK, unless you are using the automation API, you need to run the go code using the

pulumi up

command.

Oh, I see. Thanks! I’ll look into that.

did you execute the command

pulumi new

in order to initialize your Pulumi project ?

I didn’t. I’m trying to do everything just by opening the Go binary, without typing anything into the CLI. I guess executing

pulumi new

on the CLI goes with

pulumi.Run

It does, but it sets up the environment to tell pulumi.Run how to connect to the engine that the CLI is running

Works now with automation API. I’m downloading a Pulumi release directly into the project dir and adding it to

PATH

. Looks like Pulumi picks it up from there. 🙂 Thanks, everyone

Yeh it'll just pick up the first thing on path
