I have noted that occasionally during a CI deployment some resources, typically

gcp:cloudrun:Service

would get a label with the name

pulumiLabels.%

when I had not expressed it anywhere in my code. I have not been able to reproduce this consistently, but it has happened a few times. For the cases I encountered the value of the label was an empty string. I found despite numerous refresh attempts, the label would not be removed from the resource. I had to manually remove it from the state file, after which things worked as expected. Without removing the label from the state file, pulumi would always try to update the resource, and the update would always fail with the error:

Thanks @careful-salesclerk-28135. That worked great when I deleted my state. I had to also delete my services and spin them back up though since I lost my state. I am back to having this issue though where a label got added. Is there a way to edit the sate file to just delete the one label so I don't have to do that whole process?

Are you all using v7 of the GCP provider? It looks like there is an issue filed for this behavior with v7 of the provider: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/issues/1387 It would be great if you all could weigh in on that issue with any additional details on your experiences.

Yes, I am using

"<http://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/sdk/v7/go/gcp/cloudrun|github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/sdk/v7/go/gcp/cloudrun>"

The last comment on there is my main.go that I am using.

I must have missed that issue when looking for issues, I just edited the state file, and all references to the key pulumiLabels.% in maps I remove. I encountered this same very issues as mentioned in 1387 in a production environment so could not easily obliterate the full state. That being said, this is based on a gcp backend, not sure what state storage you are using.
