Any ideas why I'm getting this error when trying to run

pulumi up

after upgrading some

@pulumi/*

packages. I'm running a managed DigitalOcean k8s cluster, and obtaining the

kubeconfig

from the outputs then using it to initialize the k8s provider. Then using that provider to install via Helm various charts, but now after upgrading the packages it's failing with...

$ pulumi up

This is the general setup.

import * as digitalocean from "@pulumi/digitalocean";
import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

const doCluster = new digitalocean.KubernetesCluster("do-cluster", {
  name: "k8s-evilapp",
  nodePool: {
    autoScale: true,
    maxNodes: 2,
    minNodes: 1,
    name: "pool-evilapp",
    size: "s-1vcpu-2gb",
  },
  region: "nyc3",
  version: "1.28.2-do.0",
});

export const kubeconfig = doCluster.kubeConfigs[0].rawConfig;

const provider = new kubernetes.Provider("k8s-provider", {
  kubeconfig,
});

const certManagerNamespace = new kubernetes.core.v1.Namespace(
  "cert-manager-namespace",
  {
    metadata: {
      name: "cert-manager",
    },
  },
  {
    provider,
  }
);

const certManagerRelease = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Release(
  "cert-manager-release",
  {
    chart: "cert-manager",
    version: "1.10.2",
    namespace: certManagerNamespace.metadata.name,
    repositoryOpts: {
      repo: "<https://charts.jetstack.io>",
    },
    values: {
      installCRDs: true
    }
  },
  {
    provider,
  }
);

This issue should be fixed in

@pulumi/kubernetes

v4.5.4, see the changelog for details https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
