This is my code

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

this is the code

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

and my `values yaml` looks like this

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

< brave planet 10645> I see you green any possibility to quick look into it

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

This is a quite irregular use of Pulumi so it s not surprising it s deleting your code to be honest

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

Can you show your before and after

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

I m on a plane at the moment so my replies may be delayed

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

i am sorry

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

i am quite new to pulumi

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

it looks i need to write a code to track it right

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

this is my first `pulumi preview`

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

and then i did `pulumi up` to create rrsources in gcp as below

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

Can you elaborate a bit more on what your desired end goal is Pulumi drives towards a desired state The fact your names are using outputs is probably going to cause a lot of problems It might be worth taking a step back and talking about what you re trying to achieve

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

like these

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

I am trying to create GCP folders and then projects and Service account in each project

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

this is initial setup in my GCP

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

Okay why are you using yaml and looping through it

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

after 29 resources got created i have tried `pulumi preview` again it shows this i am confused

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

like this

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

cause i don t want to hard code values in my python

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

all i declare in yaml file and my python code take it from it and create resources

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

and in future if i want to create another resources i just add in yaml file and pulumi should create it automatically right

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

The way you re walking the yaml tree and creating the resources looks like it s changing the end state every time

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

oh is it possible see the state

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

atleast for debugging

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

pulumi stack export

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

ahh it s changing the resources i want to know why the output object from `pulumi preview` to `pulumi up` changing is it a bug in pulumi on pulumi prview lt pulumi output Output object at 0x7fd0c03d2c10 gt srihanuman matrix dev create on pulumi up lt pulumi output Output object at 0x7f96e3bceca0 gt srihanuman matrix dev create

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

Again I ll reiterate this isn t a normal use of Pulumi and I d love to get an idea of why you re walking the tree in this way and reading values from a yaml file when you can define these resources directly in code

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

Our idea is not to store values inside code

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

we create separate `values yaml` we pass our values from this file may be later we use `sping` config server to dynamically pass values also to this `values yaml` filr

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

I am little confused how this output objecta changing as per your docs this inputs and ouputs form a dependency graph right

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

looks in my case its completely broken

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

this is my python code `values yaml`

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

and i run locally `pulumi preview` and `pulumi up` as mentioned in this readME

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

i m saying that s the bug and that pulumi doesn t expand the value at the right place The specific issue here is that logical names cannot be constructed from other resource outputs They must be static strings Resource inputs such as name can be constructed from other resource outputs so basically i can t dynamically scope the names of the resources using the parent id

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

It s not a bug You re putting the outputs in your resource ids which shouldn t even be possible but somehow it is and the outputs resolve differently every time So what s happening on your first run is Pulumi saying I need to create a resource with name x Then you rerun and because the outputs resolve differently Pulumi says okay I previously created a resource with name x but now I need to create a resource with name y the state definition is differently to how the outputs have resolved

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

The issue is your parent variable which is an output Remote that from the resource and make it something known at runtime

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

Sorry my understanding was wrong in this case let me try what you suggested thank you so much for your prompt reply really appreciate it

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

do you have any recommendations for me `Remove parent varaible from the resource and make it something known at runtime` gt I mean exactly where i need to change at runtime may be some elaboration so that i can grasp it

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

The part where you use an f string remove parent from that It s hard to type the code on my phone

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

sorry for bothering on your vacation i see the message you posted that you guys are enjoying long weekend Have a great long weeknd

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

I will try my level best to make it work

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

Happy to help Let us know how it goes

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

Thank you so much now i have fixed it the second time `pulumi preview` shows this looks its fine

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

this is how i have modified it

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

is there anyway to check diff that pulumi gonna replace

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

thinking face

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

I do `pulumi up` again it throws error saying that `service account` already exists like this would make sense i guess

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

may be let me try with newest GCP pulumi plugin < billowy army 68599>

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

the newst plugin wont help if the service account already exists does it

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

i think it might be problem with my code i am trying to fix it thanks

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

< billowy army 68599> it looks something fishy to me this is my first `pulumi preview`

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

1 `pulumi preview`

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

and then 2 `pulumi up` it created `29` resources

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

till here i am good the problem is if i run 3 `pulumi preview` again it is somehow replacing the Service Accounts and IAM Members as shown below

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

it looks somewhere i am missing the logic

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

if i see the diff in pulumi console its like this it says operation `delete replaced`

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

In the diff also it is showing `delete replaced` why it is showing like that i am quite confused with its logic

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

This is my latest updated code let me know < billowy army 68599> < brave planet 10645> Do I need to change anything in my python code to fix it

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

i think it worked if i use `project name` and i have project name and project id as same

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

if no changes in infra `pulumi preview` not showing anything

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

is that expected behaviour

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

like this

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

the code is this now

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

gt if no changes in infra pulumi preview not showing anything yes this is expected behaviour if the resources exist already it won t do anything as Pulumi has nothing to do As I mentioned before pulumi drives towards a desired state

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

Thank you sir for all the help looks pulumi has bright future

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

one more quick question is it possible to modularize pulumi code i mean can reuse same code as we do using `terraform modules` with specific version of modules just wondering how to modularize pulumi python code

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

and like to deploy for different environments like `terraform workspaces`

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

I can t link right now as I m on mobile but for modules look for component resources

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

And for workspaces we call them stacks

helpful-hair-30515 · Answer

sure I think I got an idea anyway let me sync up with you guys tomorrow in our call
