Hey all,
I have a project built with Pulumi Automation API.
I want to do a very simple thing - passing variables to the pulumi function itself.
In the example here - <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/nodejs/pulumiOverHttp-ts/index.ts#L16>
You can see that `createPulumiProgram` gets `content: string` as a parameter, and then, in *<https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/nodejs/pulumiOverHttp-ts/index.ts#L16|line 72>* you call this pulumi program with the `content` variable.

Unfortunately when I try to to this, the following error is shown (in the screenshot).

Any idea what’s the right way to do so ?

I don't know if that's the only solution, but for CNAPPgoat what we do is propogate arguments through the context parameter as config values, works like a charm

so inside the Pulumi program you'd have something like
```		ctx.GetConfig("aws:region")```
and in the wrapper calling it
```		if err := s.SetConfig(ctx, "aws:region", auto.ConfigValue{Value: options.AWSRegion}); err != nil {```
