Is there an easy way to see when a resource was lost from the statefile? I lost a few important resources and can’t seem to figure out when it happened.

Somehow 2 resources got dropped though they are in the code. I’m trying to import them, but one is failing. The `ClusterRoleBinding` says there are diffs in the input, but I can’t see the diff

It says the `roleRef` and `subjects` are different in `pulumi up`. However, they are the same. It’s showing it as if those don’t exist upstream. So I can’t import it because pulumi thinks there is a diff that there is not

You can use `pulumi stack export --version 123` to traverse the history and then `jq` to look for the resources.

Thanks. I ended up copying it from another stack and then doing a refresh. I’m not sure if this is a known bug or not though. But importing is definitely a pain point with pulumi.

It often thinks there are differences, and even then, it shouldn’t matter if there are.

It’s an import, it should import exactly as the resource is, and let `up` make any changes.

I believe this was an intentional design - to require the code and imported state to match. To protected against unintended or accidental updates or destroys.

Would you mind opening an issue describing the behavior you'd like - <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/new>? I can see value in supporting both ways.

Maybe a flag then `--ignore-import-diffs` would make sense.
