Hi, is there any trick to make a resource conditional in Pulumi YAML programs?

Not exactly.

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-yaml/issues/191>

I know it's not supported, that's why I'm looking for a trick

The Command provider was what I went with in the end

Only one, using a `compiler`. And that should work, especially since it should be passing in PULUMI_STACK in the latest releases. But it doesn't

So there's no way to make inclusion of a resource depend on a config

Also do you know anything about why the compiler isn't getting those environment variables?

One option that might be useable with the `compiler` config and still use YAML syntax might be YAMLScript: <https://yamlscript.org>

I have not tested this with Pulumi yet though.

That's an interesting project but it doesn't solve my issue at all

<@U07EPH3V50Q> perhaps YTT via the compiler setting can help here <https://carvel.dev/ytt/#example:example-if|https://carvel.dev/ytt/#example:example-if>

<@UKHFQ233Q> if pulumi isn't passing the stack config how is one compiler better than another?
