Question

Hello everybody I come from an far away slack channel where a cms provider uses pulumi for their iac slightly smiling face those guys made an upgrade and now I m stuck with a kind of pulumi like error where my stack can not be found by the cli I am in contact with the cms devs but wanted to ask about my issue here as well The error I get ist ```info Environment provided selecting dev Pulumi stack error Project application api dev environment does not exist ``` I have all the state files in the right path Can anybody tell me what I might be missing that could lead to this behaviour thanks for any hints in advance slightly smiling face Edit I try to run the refresh command but it doesn t matter With every option it will say the stack does not exist

It sounds like you are not logged into the same pulumi state backend that your CMS Provider uses

bored-continent-69206 · Answer

thanks for your reply the cms does not use the pulumi backend for state management Insted they are stored locally inside the project

bored-continent-69206 · Answer

the weird thing is that there are 2 other pulumi stacks in the same project and I don t have that error with them they just work

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

can you see the stack in your state directory

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

there should be a file for each stack in the `stacks` directory inside your state folder

bored-continent-69206 · Answer

yes I can see them

bored-continent-69206 · Answer

dev is the stack

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

ok so have you confirmed that you are logged into that directory ```pulumi login file lt path gt ```

bored-continent-69206 · Answer

I m afraid I can not answer this question afaik the cms does not use any form of pulumi login confused also I think it s not the issue as I can run pulumi commands against other stacks in that same repo

bored-continent-69206 · Answer

Thats actually the point that drives me crazy Why is it working with the other stacks what may be the different I don t see any obvious diffrents in the state files and their structure

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

well they must login somehow to specify a custom state location That is either done with the command I mentioned in CLI or an environment variable or in the pulumi project file

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

My concern was maybe you are logged into another project or state backend that has the same stack names as those other 2 but not `dev`

bored-continent-69206 · Answer

I will have to talk to the devs to get some more input on how they do things confused
