Hey everyone, I am trying to get CircleCI setup with pulumi. I am trying to execute the command

pulumi preview --stack main

, but I am getting this error:

error: failed to load checkpoint: blob (key ".pulumi/stacks/main.json") (code=Unknown): MissingRegion: could not find region configuration

I am running CircleCI locally like this:

circleci local execute \
--job build \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<redacted>\
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<redacted> \
-e AWS_REGION=us-east-1

I'm also using aws as my backend.. any idea why I would be getting this error about a missing region configuration when I am clearly passing in the region as an environment variable?

Sounds like you are using the s3 backend? This error indicates that the region couldn’t be found - I believe you could include this as

?region=us-west-2

in the s3 login url if your environment isn’t setup such that this can be found automatically.

I should've updated this thread with what was happening. It ended up being a local circleci CLI issue. It was not picking up my environment variables. I'm not sure if I was passing them in wrong or what, but I tried running it in a real CircleCI integration environment and it was able to find my aws credentials. Thanks for respond to my question, though!
