stderr: error: failed to discover plugin requirements: unexpected output from 'dotnet list package --include-transitive'. Program does not appear to reference any 'Pulumi.*' packages

Any idea what this really means (GitHub action output)? Bare bones Pulumi csproj.

👋

It just started working without any change. Not sure what gives. But anyhoo, it’s a basic dotnet project (.NET 6). The pulumi CLI works fine locally and it works in the action (it shows up in the Pulumi logs in the portal as well).

Possibly an issue with the working directory of the GH action? When the pulumi CLI executes on a .NET Pulumi Project it is builds it, and then it uses

dotnet list package

to find the referenced NuGet packages of the project it just built in order to determine what pulumi plugins it needs to install via

pulumi plugin install

in order for you pulumi up invocation to execute. So it is this element of plugin discovery that is failing for some reason. Short of this functioning you would need to install the pulumi plugins yourself before running pulumi up

pulumi is building and then doing a preview and then giving this error, it sounds like a bug

Yup. Intermittent as well :S
