Could you show me your code for `VirtualNetworkGateway` ?

do you mean, the code that imports the resource? because I haven't written the code for the resource yet. It's been manually clicked together by somebody and I need to absorb it into my code

Note, it's not just with VirtualNetworkGateway's that i'm running into this problem, also with LocalNetworkGateway

I've tried the pulumi command line, so

```pulumi import azure:network/virtualNetworkGateway:VirtualNetworkGateway cgw-snm-net-blue /subscri....```

And then copying the resulting code to your program?

yes, that's the process that i'm following right now, just to get the skeleton

So, could you show me that code that you pasted?

the import isn't generating any code for this resource, as it's failing

thing is, if I write the code without importing, i worry it will create a duplicate resource

You could write your code manually but add `ImportId` option to the resource

As in <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/adopting/import/#pulumi-import-resource-operation>

But please open an issue for the failing import command: that sounds like a bug somewhere

cool, I'll do that! Thanks. I'll also add the resolution if it works by manually writing the code

So writing the code myself works. I'll file a bug for the code gen issue
