Hi all, can somebody help me build a provider locally? Specifically I am trying to build pulumi-docker for python. I have followed the setup steps at https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and then tried the following:

ulimit -n 5000
make provider
chmod +x ./bin/pulumi-resource-docker
chmod +x ./bin/pulumi-tfgen-docker
make install_plugins
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/bin
export PACKAGE_VERSION=$(pulumictl get version --language generic)
make build_python
curl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pulumi/scripts/master/ci/check-worktree-is-clean> | bash
tar -zcf sdk/python.tar.gz -C sdk/python .

This outputs a tar.gz archive, and when I try to pip install it, I get the following error:

File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 369, in check_call
          raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
      subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['pulumi', 'plugin', 'install', 'resource', 'docker', '0.0.0']' returned non-zero exit status 255.
      [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for pulumi-docker
Failed to build pulumi-docker
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pulumi-docker, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

hi, do you mind me asking a few questions?

ask away! um I would have to check my docker version...but I'm not using docker to try to build the provider. I'm building on my Linux Mint 21.2 desktop.

disclaimer: I am not at all a pythonista but it may be that you're hitting the middle of our migration to using wheels publishing

ah gotcha! I'm building off a fork that's a few commits behind now...actually trying to build from latest in this moment to see if it's a problem with the fork

We haven't rolled out wheels support for pulumi-docker as of quite yet so I doubt that's it.

This output is coming from the

pip install python.tar.gz

command, I'm not trying to

python -m build

my own distribution, if that helps

yeah, you want to use the locally-build SDK, right? I think our instructions may be off I always build the node or go sdks heh 😅 - but the steps I'd follow are: 1.

make tfgen

(to ensure your schema is up to date) 2.

make build_python

yes, I'm trying to test with docker desktop on linux for this PR: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker/pull/725

😭 there should be 😞 also, now I remember you from the username! thank you so much for contributing! ❤️

I'm trying haha. My real contribution will be adding more step by step instructions if I can figure this out.

the provider specific instructions are here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md but they're not entirely complete.

Well you were spot on, I pulled in the latest updates from upstream/master and it's working correctly now. Thank you!

hi! sorry I disappeared from this thread - I was at a conference this week. I've just kicked off the final test suite and your PR should be good to go. Please do not ever apologize for highlighting unhelpful documentation! Especially not as someone who shows up and pulls up their sleeves to help. That's what open source is all about, suggesting improvements, and working together. 🙂 If you still have the bandwidth, I would love it if you filed an issue that highlighted where you ran into trouble with the build instructions. Filing against pulumi-docker is fine; we can probably improve things elsewhere as well.

No worries! Just submitted an issue. Hopefully that helps.
