I'm probably missing something simple, but I'm running a GCP project and I need to get the value of gcp:project, is there a simple way of getting it without redefining it?

It is as gcp:project, adjacent to gcp:region, gcp:zone, and gcp:credentials

when I try to access it via config.get/require it's outside of the project scope

i.e. where my config settings are module:var when I call for gcp:project it attempts to lookup module:gcp:project

Isn’t all that just stored in an environment variable?

not that I'm aware of, the gcloud tool reads it out of config with an environment overwrite I believe

pulumi stack create prompts for those values just fyi, and in my case I work with multiple projects so the configured for the stack needs to be authoritative

I might be setup differently. I have a `GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS` env var. And that’s a json string.

Have you tried to retrieve it with the config library?

I have, and as mentioned it's scoped wrong

when I use config it attempts to read module:gcp:project

i.e. cluster:gcp:project which doesn't exist

The easiest way is:

```
gcp.config.project
```

That reads the resolved value of the configuration setting.

You can also read the config setting directly via:

```
const config = new pulumi.Config("gcp");
config.get("project");
```
