I posted this in #google-cloud but need some help asap - we have some resources down and I’m trying to help get this legacy stack resurrected without causing too much pain before we move to a new set of stacks that are fully updated. I am trying to import a resource by name from a gke cluster and having no luck (and the docs walk me in circles). It’s a namespace, but this I cannot seem to figure out the format and there is no
resourceID
in the metadata. What am I missing here? I’m trying variants on
{ import: 'us-central1/production-8b36c46/namespaces/traefik' }
So I think I figured out a string that will work (I am specifying the kubernetes provider as well), it is
import: 'namespaces/traefik'
. BUT, it says:
Copy code
kubernetes:core/v1:Namespace (traefik):
    warning: inputs to import do not match the existing resource; importing this resource will fail
It is failing because our metadata doesn’t match? I’d rather not specify metadata, just name and import. I found open issues about this, and the requirement to specify basically all the details to import (which seems to defy the whole reason to import them by name)

Might be easier to use the
pulumi import
command to import it and then use
up
to resync it. Just make a note of all the code
import
shows because you might need to set some of those fields to not trigger a replace.
