It appears that you might not have a pulumi project created. Are you using one of our examples or did you do

pulumi new

? If you are using an example there should be a

pulumi stack init

command in the README.md.

i did pulumi new with the sample go project, but i created a go module w/ the name

main

. once i `go installed1 with a different name it seemed to work. not sure which actually solved the issue.
