So I split my pulumi files to make the separation more logical, it seems when I run 
pulumi preview
it thinks I deleted all the resources ? I did change my tsconfig file to include the new file..Any other pointers ?

are you importing and referencing those resources?

You mean referencing them further on ?
Nope

you can’t just import them. node.js will not execute the file unless you reference something from that file.

What is the import part ? the resources already exist..I just wanted to refactor the structure

what are you doing?
Like, you’ve put them in different files right?
How does pulumi know about the second file?

the tsconfig file I thought ?

It’s just running a node.js program.

Exactly so how do I ensure pulumi knows about it ?

it will execute 
index.ts
Whatever is in 
index.ts
will be executed.

I added all files in the tsconfig.json file

That doesn’t matter.

Copy code
"files": [
        "index.ts",
        "helm-config.ts",
        "config.ts",
        "util.ts"
    ]

Pulumi is executing 
index.ts
d

damp-book-35965

03/21/2019, 11:30 PM
Okay so how do I ensure that it executes further
c

import them into 
index.ts
d

I see..so to maintain the sequential flow it needs to flow through index.ts
c

So, Pulumi isn’t doing anything magic, it’s literally just executing a nodejs app that happens to register a bunch of resources.
Nodejs apps require an index.js or (in our case) an index.ts

Yup..I was under the impression it will combine all ts files and then figure out the dependencies and stuff
c

creamy-potato-29402

03/21/2019, 11:34 PM
That’s understandable.

You will typically want to have an 
index.ts
file that imports everything you want to include and exports everything you wants to expose. If there are components that file wants to include but not otherwise reference, you can use 
import "./something.ts"
to ensure they are imported.
