I always get this message when using a template with pulumi up. "error: azure-nativeresourcesResourceGroup resource 'resourceGroup' has a problem: missing required property 'location'. Either set it explicitly or configure it with 'pulumi config set azure-native:location <value>'." Steps to reproduce this error: pulumi config set azure-native:location westus2 pulumi up https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/azure-py-aci What I have tried: I have deleted all of my stacks to start fresh, but it still gives the same error. I have looked at the documentation to make sure I am not missing some key syntax, but everything looks correct. Here is what my command line looks like:

gitpod /workspace/pulumi/p $ pulumi config set azure-native:location westus2
Please choose a stack, or create a new one: <create a new stack>
Please enter your desired stack name.
To create a stack in an organization, use the format <org-name>/<stack-name> (e.g. `acmecorp/dev`): dev

Hi @salmon-sandwich-15994 - why are you running:

pulumi up <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/azure-py-aci>

?

When using a template, what pulumi command should I use? I thought I was supposed to use pulumi up passing in the template as an argument. What should I do instead? What is the correct syntax?

pulumi up

executes your pulumi code that you’ve written

pulumi new

is the command you want to use to specify a template

Like this?

pulumi new python-azure
pulumi config set azure-native:location westus2
pulumi new <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/azure-py-aci/__main__.py>
pulumi up

no, you cannot pass the url you’re passing
