Hi there, I am trying to create a StackReference using a different Provider than the "default" one. In python:

provider = aws.Provider(
            resource_name="foo",
            region="eu-central-1",
            profile="foo"
        )
        stack = pulumi.StackReference(
            name="foo",
            stack_name="foo",
            opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(provider=provider),
        )

Unfortunately I'm getting an error:

pulumi:pulumi:StackReference (foo):
    error: Preview failed: unrecognized resource type (Read): pulumi:pulumi:StackReference

Ideas? Is setting a provider for StackReference a feature in the first place?

You can set a provider on the stack reference, but it's a Pulumi thing, not an AWS thing so you wouldn't want an AWS provider in the stack reference.

Ok. But how else can I access stack outputs of a stack hosted by another provider than default?

You can only reference stacks in the same backend that you're in. So for example, if one pulumi program has its backend in S3 and another in the Pulumi console, you won't be able to get stack references in this way

Ok, too bad. But thanks for this information
