What should I do when my
pulumi update
visually stopped making any progress and seems idle for hours? Ctrl-C will make me do
refresh
which I have bad experience with...

What is it hung on?
(assuming it’s still hung)
t
It is still. I don't know... It was deleting Lambda Function's, that the last operation, but it shows nothing active.

Okay. Another approach to recovering from an interrupted update is to export the stack’s raw checkpoint, edit it, and import it. This should only be necessary if there is in fact an operation that is still running, so I think you should be able to kill the update without incident here.
Or in other words, I think you may be able to kill the update and start a new one without any issue in this particular case. If that turns out not to be true, please let me know.

Ok, thanks
Interesting... I pressed Ctrl-C once and it resumed deleting things
m
That's supremely odd. I wonder if it was sitting around waiting for console input for some reason?
Which cloud/clouds were you targeting?
AWS alone?
t
yes
Now it completed
Just in case, I was deleting 481 resources 😋
