Hello All, I am having an issue with

config

in a custom Pulumi template. It seems

default

can't handle an object for

aws:defaultTags

. Here is my

Pulumi.yaml

in the template

name: ${PROJECT}
description: ${DESCRIPTION}
runtime: nodejs
stackConfigDir: config/
template:
  description: A minimal AWS TypeScript Pulumi program
  config:
    aws:defaultTags:
      default:
        tags:
          Tag1: value1
          Tag2: value2
    aws:region:
      description: The AWS region to deploy into
      default: us-east-1

I run the

pulumi new

command and get the following error

$ pulumi new ~/dev/rs-pulumi-templates/aws-typescript --name sandbox --stack sandbox --yes
error: yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 10: cannot unmarshal !!map into string

The behavior I expect is to get a Pulumi project created with this in the

Pulumi.sandbox.yaml

encryptionsalt: v1:X5f2X+HrmBA=:v1:W4AbC74tERwws/44:W9KutY3Gg2o7xh4sMr//DrIeCmj+lQ==
config:
  aws:region: us-east-1
  aws:defaultTags:
    tags:
      Tag1: value1
      Tag2: value2

I was able to get the configurations I want by running

pulumi new

with the

--config-path

and

--config

flags. I was also able to get the expected result using the

pulumi config

command. Ideally, I'd like to get the expected outcome from the template, not the command line. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or if it is even possible? Thanks

It looks like templates don’t handle complex values, though I agree they should. I opened https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/10892 to track the issue.

Thanks @ancient-policeman-24615. I had already created an issue. We messaged back and forth. This became the issue to track the problem. https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/10891
