I'm getting an odd error when trying to run `pulumi up`:

error: Missing required configuration variable 'poc-pulumi:aws:region'

. When I do what the error describes and set:

pulumi config set poc-pulumi:aws:region us-east-1

, I get another error telling me the format is invalid: `error: invalid configuration key: could not parse poc-pulumiawsregion as a configuration key (configuration keys should be of the form

<namespace>:<name>

)`

Try

pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1

I still receive the error

error: Missing required configuration variable 'poc-pulumi:aws:region

on running

pulumi up

after doing so.

Huh..not sure then. I always use that command to set my aws region for a new project

@thankful-hospital-94793 are you using pulumi config explicitly anywhere in your code? e.g.

config.requre("aws:config")

Good catch; I definitely am.

I just had to do this. import the Pulumi aws package then use aws.config.region

Oh, good stuff; that should do it!

@thankful-hospital-94793 I found a better solution! After RTFM…lol I found you can do this:

const awsConfig = new pulumi.Config("aws");
console.log(awsConfig.require("region"));

This gets the

aws

section of your

Pulumi.dev.yaml

file :)
