the error describes the issue, your pulumi plugin isn't installed locally. Usually it should be installed when you install the SDK (eg `npm install`) but it might not be working this time. Can you add a step that does
```pulumi plugin install resource aws v3.26.1```
to your pipeline?

we can... out of curiosity we did not see this issue until today (and we haven't changed anything)

I think you know why, but this would imply we would have to update many pipelines when this issue randomly occurs?

that is a little curious, could you open an issue in pulumi/pulumi for this, i want to keep track of how often plugin acquisition doens't work

i'll open an issue - i'm using Typescript with the following deps:

`"@pulumi/aws": "^3.25.1",`
`"@pulumi/awsx": "^0.24.0",`
`"@pulumi/okta": "^2.7.1",`
`"@pulumi/postgresql": "^2.5.2",        "@pulumi/pulumi": "^2.17.2",`
`"@pulumi/random": "^3.0.0",`
`"@pulumi/tls": "^3.0.0",`

<@UCWG26BH7> I just wanted to check back in quickly and report that running the command `pulumi plugin install resource aws v3.26.1` in the pipeline actually does NOT work

is `$HOME/.pulumi/bin` in your path inside the runner?

not sure, we're using github actions - will check now
