i'm trying to destroy a test stack, in which i have marked a lot of resources as protected. how can i easily list these URNs, so i can do something like

pulumi state list | grep protected | xargs -I{} pulumi state unprotect {}

?

pulumi stack export

might be the closest thing to what you want

pulumi stack export | jq '.deployment.resources[] | select(.protect == true) | .urn' | xargs -I{} pulumi state unprotect {}

^ this works, but is sooo slooowwwww... 4.5 mins for 12 resources anything i can do to speed this up safely?

pulumi state unprotect --all

?

17 seconds! Wow, thanks!

The issue with doing this one at a time is that each change becomes its own change set and pushes a change in your state, using the command Komal pointed out means we handle it internally and it’s only 1 change to the state :) so only 1 diff that needs to be pushed to the backend

i did stack export, search and replace in vs code, and then stack import 🙂 Simple and fast
