<@UJNMD7BB9> do you have a `Pulumi.yaml` in your project root? does it have a `name: &lt;project-name&gt;` property defined?

aha! found the issue… for some reason it seems my `go get`  added a pulumi binary to my bin folder. That binary got executed when I ran pulumi instead of the binary I expected it to be

That might be something to look into for the Pulumi team. <@UB3BGTV63> ^

Yes - this is technically "by design", but can be surprising (I've gotten bitten by this myself).

We should at the very least clearly document this.  But we may also want to require being a little more explicit if you want to use a pre-built binary (setting an option in the `Pulumi.yaml` ) instead of just something with the right name happening to be on the path.
