If I run

pulumi config set <key> true

, I would expect my configuration file to show

key: true

. Instead, I get

key: "true"

, which is a string value, not a boolean one. Is this behavior intentional? Am I misunderstanding something about how Pulumi configuration works?

No, that's how the command line works. Pulumi has no way to tell if you want "true" or

true

. You can edit the config file and remove the quotes, if you want.

but the command line doesn’t always work that way..

pulumi config set --path 'namespace.fake' true

results in

project:namespace:
    fake: true

i think you're running into https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/5442

ah, yeah I think that I am. thank you.
