do you have aws credentials configured for that bucket?

I think so, I can use the AWS CLI to list, put, get

can you create that file `.pulumi/stacks/dev.json` ?

Yes, I can create that object via `aws s3api put-object`

interesting, Pulumi just uses the AWS SDK so I can't understand why that wouldn't work

I have tried cranking the verbose level, but I don't get any additional output

Looks like level 7 may have something extra to say <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/pkg/backend/filestate/state.go#L209>, I will try that one specifically

hmm, cannot seem to get that logging line to fire

Unfortunately, no additional information in them

what does `aws sts get-caller-identity` return? do you have any env vars set that might be conflicting?

I get a valid response with my token in it

I am wondering if I have misconfigured the `bucket-path`

`pulumi login <s3://s3>.[aws-region].<http://amazonaws.com/[bucket-name]|amazonaws.com/[bucket-name]>`

did you try just `pulumi login <s3://bucket-name>` ?

<@UCWG26BH7> That was it! Thank you for helping me step through that

No worries, Would you mind opening an issue for this in <http://github.com/pulumi/pulumi?|github.com/pulumi/pulumi?> There’s no reason I can think of that the fully qualified bucket name shouldn’t work

I would be happy to, I opened a docs PR for a minor wording change that would have helped me
