which language are you using?

~would setting/reading an env var work, instead of interactive input?~ that wouldn’t work for either of your examples, sorry :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t think we have any examples of this, but i thinkyour best bet is having the manual input come via network i/o as opposed to stdin since the CLI and the language runtime are running in an environment that doesn’t make it really straightforward to get at stdin

<@UQ23ERNT1> i mostly work with Pulumi in Python so far 

<@UTH0AMTQQ> so maybe storing the value in a parameter store of some kind and then Pulumi would poll for it ?

Still, the user would have to manually set the value there so that wouldn’t really save me one step 

I was hoping to ask for the value as part of the CLI run 

I was thinking more like you have a local webserver spin up and you can talk between the Pulumi program and the web server for I/O

so the program can push prompts to the server and receive back replies
