I’m using

pulumi/actions@v3

and am getting an error

no resource plugin 'pulumi-resource-aws' found in the workspace at v5.4.0 or on your $PATH, install the pluging using 'pulumi plugin install resource aws v5.4.0

I am able to resolve this locally but dont yet know how to get the plugin installed in the action

this is a known issue with pulumi cli in general https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/5725 the only way i've been able to reliably resolve it is to modify the statefile. I've found that the providers that this error shows up for does not have inputs/outputs versions, e.g. it's missing

...
                "type": "pulumi:providers:aws",
                "inputs": {
                    "version": "5.9.2",
                    ...
                },
                "outputs": {
                    "version": "5.9.2",
                    ...
                },
                ...

what I do is i run

pulumi stack export > state.json

, add the inputs/outputs to the version in the error message, and then run

pulumi stack import --file state.json

Thanks!
