11/15/2024, 3:33 PMCan anyone tell me has the process of writing a cross language component package gotten any better? In this video they keep alluding to the situation evolving that less “boilerplate” work will be needed in the future. That was two years ago:
It has been hard to find good documentation on this

11/16/2024, 12:36 AMHaving had to dig through it all recently, I think it has gotten slightly easier and less reliant on go, but it's difficult to find working examples of it. It took me a solid couple of days to get a modern TS provider working in other langs

11/17/2024, 5:35 PMUgh that’s sad. Makes it hard for me to sell if reuse is restricted to a single language as ops folks are going to want python and web TS (for instance).

11/17/2024, 5:36 PMI think I have it working thx to your video. Just template was out of date and required a lot of updating. The find/replace stuff was tedious obviously. Feels like a tool to scaffold something up would be warranted/doable.

11/17/2024, 5:38 PMI know AWS CDK works differently obviously (I am the guy who commented on JSii on the original stream haha), but that cross language stuff was a lot easier to get going with.

11/21/2024, 3:23 PM@billowy-army-68599 any chance you could point me at how to troubleshoot? I built all the provider plugins. Installed the sdk package. Installed the provider from the tar file. When I run Pulumi up it tells me it cannot read the plugins stdout:EOF? I’m on macOS (m2 if that matters). I installed the arm provider….kind of at a loss

it could be any number of things, hard to know where to start

11/21/2024, 3:26 PMExactly and without a good error I’m kind of screwed

11/21/2024, 3:26 PMMy instinct was the provider didn’t build correctly but there was no error around that
