Hello team I found

pulumi new

has a

--config stringArray

option. But it seems not say what

stringArrary

should look like. I try

--config aws:region:us-east-1

but it complains a error: (my terminal is PowerShell)

error: could not parse aws:region:us-east-1 as a configuration key (configuration keys should be of the form `<namespace>:<name>`)

so what it should look like?

"aws:region:us-east-1"

or

aws:region us-east-1

(will complain too much args) seems both not the correct answer. Thanks~

hi @fancy-bird-54024! can you share a little bit more about what you are trying to do?

@brainy-church-78120 Sure. I want to create new project with

pulumi new aws-java --name xxx --stack dev --description xxxx --config someconfigurationhere

. If I omit

--config

part, the Pulumi will ask me to input with

aws:region: The AWS region to deploy into: (us-east-1)

message. SO I guess maybe I can manual add this required field in advance within the

pulumi new

command line. And maybe

--config

option, could help me directly to fill this field as

--config aws:region:ap-east-1

or whatever format. But when I input

pulumi new -h

to search the format, the helper info show

-c, --config stringArray        Config to save

in the Flags. I try

"aws:region:ap-east-1"

and

aws:region ap-east-1

but it seems not correct format, SO I wonder how it

stringArray

should look like in PowerShell , and whether I could use this option to skip that interactive input procedure.(I am not a native English speaker, sorry for my Grammar. Hope I can express my thoughts 😂)

so ur goal is to not have to provide values in the interactive prompts? i also tried a whole bunch of ways to get this to work and couldn't figure it out. I've asked for some help internally, should be able to get back to you with a better answer tomorrow.

if I do

pulumi new typescript --config="foo=bar"

i end up with

cat Pulumi.dev.yaml
config:
  project:foo: bar

If I do:

pulumi new aws-typescript --config="aws:region=us-west-2"

i end up with

config:
  aws:region: us-west-2

ah so the equal sign is the correct syntax, thank you!

Yeah, equal sign with multiple config block. That's what I wanted, Thank you very much~~👍
