pulumi stack init

: How can we set in which

project

the stack will be created in?

Yep, that’s how it works.

That’s not really intuitive, though. The

org/project/stack

semantic is explicit & more obvious. E.g. with

pulumi stack select org/project/stack

.

A stack is an instantiation of a project (e.g.

dev

,

staging

,

prod

), so a stack always belongs to a project.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

To be frank, this is an area that we are still working to improve the support for across the CLI. (As earlier this year a stack was just identified by

org/stack

, and we later added

org/project/stack

.) So there are a few places where the interpretation of “stack identifier” isn’t quite right. But as you mentioned, if you just use

stackname

the

org

and

project

will be inferred. (By the

Pulumi.yaml

file in the current folder, and who you are logged in as.) Similarly,

org/stack

will infer the

project

.) You can specify the project name when creating a new stack though, e.g.

stack init chrsmith/website-backend/production

. However, you will get an error if the project name (

website-backend

) doesn’t match what is in your Pulumi.yaml file. (Since if we allowed that it would lead to some very bad situations down the line.) So we’re working on making this more seamless, but that’s how it all works. Please don’t hesitate to ask any other questions if things are confusing.

@colossal-beach-47527 You mind reviewing my PR #3933? Is there sth. missing?
