I wonder if this is possible? I can’t find anything about it.
<@UB39JFCKC> do you know if dynamic provider / resource support refresh?

I think yes, via `read`. Are you asking because it doesn’t work?

yes. I haven’t implemented the `read` method, I just add a `console.log`, but it was never called,
I will try to implement it

Here is my implementation
```async read(id: pulumi.ID, props?: any): Promise&lt;pulumi.dynamic.ReadResult&gt; {            console.log(`pulumi.dynamic.ResourceProvider: call --read-- on ${id}`)
      <http://pulumi.log.info|pulumi.log.info>(`pulumi.dynamic.ResourceProvider: call --read-- on ${id}`)
return {id: ''}
 }```
Then I do a `pulumi up` to serialize this to the state.
Then I do a `pulumi refresh`, but the resource is not refreshed and I can’t see any logs

The pulumi refresh output are
``` ~  pulumi-nodejs:dynamic:Resource mgsub-sub-it-foundations-test-a-sandbox refreshing 
    pulumi-nodejs:dynamic:Resource mgsub-sub-it-foundations-test-a-sandbox  ```


That’s odd. To be sure - did you create your resource after you added the read implementation?

Your code is saved in resource state. You need to update the resource to update the code, including read and delete

I’ve done this before, … unless I miss something.
That’s said, thank for your help :slightly_smiling_face:

I finally succeed to make refresh working.
I updated the example in <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure-native/issues/553>

I opened an issue to explain my pain :slightly_smiling_face: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/6490>
