Hello - I'm facing the following error while trying to update the rest api in AWS API Gateway. Did some research and found out that by setting

create_before_destroy=true

in the lifecycle section on deployment resource, it will get rid of that problem. This solution works on terraform side but I didn't see any such option on the Pulumi side to set the lifecycle section on

aws._*apigateway*_._*Deployment*_

resource.

BadRequestException: Active stages pointing to this deployment must be moved or deleted

Pulumi doesn't support destroy before create currently (see https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2877). You'll probably have to do this as two updates.

@echoing-dinner-19531 - I'm looking for

create_before_destroy

flag on the API Gateway deployment resource so that it creates the new resource before it tries to delete the existing depploymentresource because an active stage is pointing to it.

Ah right sorry got words flipped around. Pulumi's default behaviour matches terraforms of create_before_destroy=true, so you shouldn't have to do anything.

I'm creating a child resource of the parent resource.. so do i still need to delete the whole gateway ?

I don't know API gateway well enough to say for sure. I'd suspect not, but see what errors happen.

ok, no worries. will try and let you know how it goes.

Not currently, some thinking around that in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/11872

got it, thanks
