hey folks, we have a few node.js apps which have their own package.json in the repository root, hence we cannot / don’t want to convolute the apps’ package.json with the package.json of the pulumi code. Hence I opted to move the pulumi code incl. configs into an

infra

subdirectory. However It’d like to keep the

Pulumi.yaml

in the repo root to be able to run pulumi CLI commands in the repo root. However it seems pulumi assumes the package.json to be in the same directory as the Pulumi.yaml and if that’s not the case it crashes with a bunch of errors. Is there a way to specify in the Pulumi.yaml a custom location of the package.json? Also is there some general docs / schema reference for the Pulumi.yaml ?

Yep! You can set the

main

property to the relative path of the directory that contains your Pulumi program.

Works, thanks! Yeah I didn’t find it because i was searching for “Reference” and “Pulumi.yaml” instead of “Concepts” and “Projects” 🙂
