Hey guys, I'm trying to print json output during "update" operation in Pulumi. And I'm using Pulumi automation APIs to do the same. I don't see an option here to print json output here - <https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/auto/optup> . Am I missing anything?

Can you please help me get to json print option in pulumi go automation API?

What information are you trying to print exactly? The automation API should produce the same output about resource changes and updates as the Pulumi CLI.

I don't think it's possible to set the `--json` CLI flag through the Automation API if that's your question.

It's possible to pass arbitrary arguments to the Pulumi CLI (<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/sdk/go/auto/cmd.go#L263>) but the JSON flag cannot be set through "up" (<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/sdk/go/auto/stack.go#L362>). If you need this, it should be straightforward to patch it in, not sure if Pulumi would consider adding this feature.

I see you already opened a feature request at <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/18088>

Yes. I wanted to store json formatted logs of pulumi's updates. The events stream api (via go channels) seems useful at this point as a good alternative - <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/7773>
