Hi everyone, I have a small existing project managed by Terragrunt/Terraform I am trying to migrate to Pulumi. I have tried to migrate us

tf2pulumi

but it doesn't support Terraform modules which we rely on heavily, so I abandoned that. I found a video on youtube of a livestream () that uses

tfstate

to import resources. I have tried to emulate that, I have this

resources.json

file:

{
  "resources": [
    {
      "name": "lambda",
      "type": "AWS::Lambda::Function",
      "id": "ingestDataLambda"
    }
  ]
}

Which I just scraped out with JS. It was longer but I cut it down to importing one resource for simplicity. When I run

pulumi import -f resources.json --out index.ts

I get an error

error: preview failed: failed to validate provider config: Could not automatically download and install resource plugin 'pulumi-resource-AWS'at version v5.16.0, install the plugin using `pulumi plugin install resource AWS v5.16.0`.
    Underlying error: error downloading plugin AWS to file: failed to download plugin: AWS-5.16.0: 403 HTTP error fetching plugin from <https://get.pulumi.com/releases/plugins/pulumi-resource-AWS-v5.16.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz>

I also get a

403

error when I run the

pulumi plugin install

. I have tried removing the

node_modules

folder and using

yarn

, using

Pulumi 3.38.0

and

Pulumi 3.40.2

. I am running:

Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.13 (stretch)
Release:        9.13
Codename:       stretch

Inside Windows 11 WSL2. I have managed to deploy a simple S3 bucket to the AWS account so the Pulumi setup works, it just doesn't want to import for me. I have also tried reinstalling Pulumi on

Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

But it has the exact same issue. I am currently running

v14.19.1

Thanks in advance for any help. I have searched this Slack channel and stack overflow but haven't found anything that will help.

Looks like there's a case-sensitivity problem. The AWS plugin is called pulumi-resource-aws, not pulumi-resource-AWS. Maybe try changing the type to begin with "aws"?

Thanks, that's fixed that error. I get a different error, I think the

type

field might still be wrong. Does

"type": "aws::Lambda::Function"

look correct - is there documentation on what the type fields should be. Terraform gave me

_

instead of

::

and I deduced the type from the AWS console. The error I get is:

error: Preview failed: unrecognized resource type (Read): aws:Lambda:Function

So the type field would still seem incorrect.

If it's a Pulumi type, then yes, it's wrong. Maybe those are Terraform types? To find a Pulumi type, you can look in the approppriate module: they're always at the bottom of the .js file, called

<module>.__pulumiType

. For example, aws/lambda/function.js says that the type is

aws:lambda/function:Function

.

I've found that now inside the node modules. And that has imported successfully. 🎉 I can go and work out the other 20 resources now and import them now. Thanks so much for your help, I never found anything close to what the issue was.
