Hey folks! 👋 I’m trying to create a GCP project via Pulumi and set it to use an existing billing account that we have. However, I see nowhere in the Project type where we could specify the billing account. And if it’s not specified, then many Google services fail to activate, because they require a billing account. In Terraform, we were doing this at project level:

resource "google_project" "my_project" {
  name            = "my_project"
  project_id      = "my_project_123456"
  billing_account = "01913E-D7CA1E-9371A0"
  org_id          = "my_org"
}

What am I missing here? 🤔

let me take a look at our repo but I guess you must have missed an obvious property

Hey @prehistoric-activity-61023! 👋 Sorry for the delay and thanks for your answer! Indeed, I see we have to use the “classic” provider for project creation. What’s good is that we can mix and match “classic” and “native” together, however the experience is not seamless. For example, the “classic” provider output a

project.id

in the form of

projects/123456

, whereas the “native” one expects just

12345

as project ID, so I need to dynamically strip the

projects/

prefix before passing it to the other native resources. That was annoying to troubleshoot initially, but now that it’s figured out, it works like a charm! 😉

@future-nail-59564 I’m glad you managed to make it work 🙂! Regarding the stripping part, check for additional fields other than

id

. I think you can use

project.project_id

.

Hmm… not sure… when I look at this resource for example: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/google-native/cloudresourcemanager/v3/folder/ Both the

id

and

name

outputs seem to have the same format (ie:

folders/1234

) and I see no other property… 😕
