hey guys i have this step in our GH action

- name: Select Staging Stack
        uses: <docker://pulumi/actions>
        with:
          args: stack select staging
        env:
          AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
          PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          PULUMI_ROOT: ${{ env.PULUMI_ROOT }}

but when i run it it returns me this error

error: no Pulumi.yaml project file found (searching upwards from /github/workspace). If you have not created a project yet, use `pulumi new` to do so

I understand that the workflow can’t find the pulumi folder but I have set the variable

env.PULUMI_ROOT

to point to where the project is

PULUMI_ROOT: apps/.pulumi

am I missing something?

The action code has moved from docker-based to a lighter-weight approach. Would that explain what you're seeing? https://www.pulumi.com/blog/supercharging-our-github-action-with-the-pulumi-automation-api/

yes that’s actually what was the issue, i resorted to manually calling the cli in my own action thingy
