It actually reports a lot of stuff deleted, but is not deleted

Only appears to be k8s resources that it thinks it deleted but didn’t.

I’ve not experienced this previously, but whatever scenario caused this to happen, it’s certainly an issue. Because I’ve not experienced it before, I don’t really think I can duplicate it.

Does GKE provide a history of operations like other GCP resources? I wonder if you'll see the delete deployment call listed.

It would show up in the event just like any other k8s cluster, but I don’t see a delete event

I’ve had `replicasets` remain after I’ve deleted `deployments` before

This is more than that. It’s the namespace that was deleted, the PVC, the deployment, the pods, etc.

do you see it in both `kubectl get rs` and `kubectl get deploy`?

Nothing should be remaining given that the namespace was supposed to be deleted too

so you deleted it with `pulumi destroy` and the resources are still there

only time I’ve run into that is when I ran operations against a different cluster on accident due to a `kubeconfig` misconfig

That's a good question... did you do a `pulumi destroy` to delete everything in the stack? Or did you make a code change that only deleted (or was supposed to) a subset of the resources?

Also I confirmed it was the right cluster. 

How did you confirm it was the correct cluster? That was going to be next thought, that somehow it was pointed to the wrong cluster and the deletes were "successful" because they 404'd.

Do you have an explicit k8s provider set on your resources? I wonder if Pulumi picked up a different kubeconfig from your provider perhaps.

I’ll have to double check when I’m home. I looked at the config I thought but now I’m not sure. 

Yep, I forgot the kubernetes:context. What I checked earlier was that it was the right gcp:project, but forgot about that.

once you get bitten by this issue, you don’t really forget it, is the good news.

Unfortunately not given I’m used to the issue. The problem is that we have a ton of projects.

So when copying from a project to another (Because generation was a PITA at least previously), we don’t always have the same values.

Not sure if generation has gotten better.
