Hi! I am trying to add the pulumi azure pipeline (using the pulumi azure extension) with the local file state management. I use:

- task: Pulumi@1
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: 'Visual Studio Enterprise ~~'
    command: 'up'
    loginArgs: '<file://infra/pulumi-state>'
    cwd: 'infra'
    stack: 'production'`

but it fails because it tries to find the files in

<buildDir>/infra/infra/pulumi-state

. When I use:

loginArgs: '<file://pulumi-state>'

it fails as well because it looks at this path:

<buildDir>/pulumi-state

. What am i doing wrong ?

@clever-sunset-76585 do you know?

I've got it working by adding this fragment to Pulumi.yaml:

backend:
  url: <file://pulumi-state>

I haven’t tried to use local state myself with the Pulumi task, but I would have expected it to use the input

loginArgs

as-is when you specify

<file://infra/pulumi-state>

. I don’t think it should matter, but could you please try to set the

loginArgs

to

-c <file://infra/pulumi-state>

?

That worked

Just because I'm curious... This means your state is not retained, right? Unless you're running this on a self-hosted build agent?!
