I´m having problems getting redis to work with up... If I run the following code once it is created but the next time I run up I get the following error. [edit] maybe

var redis = new AzureNative.Cache.Redis("redisCacheBeinni",

should be

var redis = new AzureNative.Cache.Redis("redis",

.. going to try that... [edit2] ok that solved it.. also it took for ever to create this resource and I think I gave up last time before it finished and everything went south from there...

var redis = new AzureNative.Cache.Redis("redisCacheBeinni", new AzureNative.Cache.RedisArgs
        {
            EnableNonSslPort = true,
            Location = ResourceGroup.Apply(t => t.Location),
            MinimumTlsVersion = "1.2",
            Name = "redisCacheBeinni",
            RedisConfiguration = new AzureNative.Cache.Inputs.RedisCommonPropertiesRedisConfigurationArgs
            {
                MaxmemoryPolicy = "allkeys-lru",
            },
            ResourceGroupName = ResourceGroup.Apply(t => t.Name),
            Sku = new AzureNative.Cache.Inputs.SkuArgs
            {
                Capacity = 1,
                Family = "C",
                Name = "Standard",
            },
            Tags =
            {
                { "environment", StackName },
            },
        });

this is the error...

error: cannot create already existing resource '/subscriptions/0e96.../resourceGroups/beinni-rg52d042de/providers/Microsoft.Cache/redis/redisCacheBeinni'

Shouldn´t this be re-runnable? If I need to run this once and then import this resource (don´t know how) that sounds like a bug.. or at least not what I would expect I also see that all other resources are created with a postfix but redis is just created as

redisCacheBeinni

in the portal.. And btw its never created in the Pulumi portal either...

@sticky-exabyte-94099 you are giving things explicit names all the time. You need to take advantage of Pulumi's autonaming

Sorry for that @billowy-army-68599 but I´m just using the examples. You had pointed that out previously and I only found this https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/ and it really does not tell me a whole lot how to use it.. can you point me to one example using it?

every resource has a property where you can explicitly set the name, you're doing it in your redis cache:

Name = "redisCacheBeinni",

If you explicitly set the names like this, you'll end up with resource collisions. Just remove this property:

var redis = new AzureNative.Cache.Redis("redisCacheBeinni", new AzureNative.Cache.RedisArgs
        {
            EnableNonSslPort = true,
            Location = ResourceGroup.Apply(t => t.Location),
            MinimumTlsVersion = "1.2",
            RedisConfiguration = new AzureNative.Cache.Inputs.RedisCommonPropertiesRedisConfigurationArgs
            {
                MaxmemoryPolicy = "allkeys-lru",
            },
            ResourceGroupName = ResourceGroup.Apply(t => t.Name),
            Sku = new AzureNative.Cache.Inputs.SkuArgs
            {
                Capacity = 1,
                Family = "C",
                Name = "Standard",
            },
            Tags =
            {
                { "environment", StackName },
            },
        });

And a lot of the problems you're having will go away

ahhhhhhhh... OK so skip the property!! I really think you should have Pulumi for Dummies... really short and to the point...you have way to much text to cover... I guess I´m writing the first chapters in that book 🤣 like I have said before, please don´t give up on me!

we won't!

Ok kinda lost now...I added your code and now every time I do up another redis is created

you're creating a new resource inside an output?

Maybe I´m totally using this wrong. I was organizing my project into methods and I have been using Output for all the properties that I´m moving around to use in other methods. Like here https://github.com/sturlath/MyTest/blob/824d1618346bb50bccd93d6f7a7b68580352a774/AppStack.cs#L69 Maybe this should just be

AppServicePlan = new Plan

and instead of

[Output] public Output<Plan> AppServicePlan { get; set; }

it should just be regular C#

public Plan AppServicePlan { get; set; }

yeah that'll create a new resource because it's async
