Hello, in the pulumi dashboard, all the resources in the Graph view are shown right next to each other instead of showing the correct dependencies as shown in the screenshot. My resource do depend on each other via outputs. Am I missing something? Do I need to mention

dependsOn

or

parent

manually to get a more correct graph to show?

dependsOn

relationships & input/output relations are not displayed in this graph. What you see are

parent

relationships. All resources have the stack resource implicitly as their parent. If you have components in between, you will see these visualized as intermediate nodes.

Right, I understand how it could be useful like when creating AKS cluster. Would it be possible to also have the dependency graph like the one generated from

pulumi stack graph

? I don't think the cloud dashboard is open source else I would have tried to contribute myself

As a general rule, @limited-rainbow-51650 ought we to be using

parent

instead of

dependsOn

?

@gifted-gigabyte-53859 I believe they are used for different purposes.

parent

is used with component resources https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/options/parent/

As @cuddly-engineer-30016 said regarding

parent

and

dependsOn

. I want to add to that: use

dependsOn

scarcely. If you pass an output from one resource as input to another, then Pulumi knows there is a dependency. No need to add an additional

dependsOn

at that time.
