I thought it was supposed to output the JS object basically for copy/pasting.

Instead I just got the normal details output when trying this

No - it shows a Pulumi diff, but does not output the JS for you.

You will currently have to ensure you can create a program that describes the same resources.  There are many ways to do this. For Terraform, you can use `tf2pulumi`.

Adding a tool to output a minimal language representation of the desired state based on a diff or attempted import is something we are thinking about for the future.

Ah, I simply misunderstood the video then.

BTW - just shared another video walkthrough of using `import` at <https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/CB36DSVSA/p1564083974003700>
