Hi! I may have found a bug in `pulumi config get`:

pulumi config --config-file ./Pulumi.testing.yaml get --path artifacts.analyzer_dispatcher
error: configuration key 'artifacts.analyzer_dispatcher' not found for stack 'jun10'

the question: why is it looking at my currently-selected stack

jun10

and not the config file I specified? according to the man page:

--config-file string           Use the configuration values in the specified file rather than detecting the file name

have you tried putting the

--config-file

flag after the

get

command?

@sparse-tomato-5980

--config-file

refers to your

Pulumi.yaml

file (ie, the one you use to specify your runtime, name etc) if you want to specify a specific stack file, use

-s

Got it, makes sense. Okay - the next question is, I'm actually _grabbing a Stack file from another branch and copying config values out of it_; so, the stack doesn't actually exist as far as pulumi knows

yeah that won't work, stacks are local to your project, the stack config values also exist in your state. if you want to do something like this, you'll need to either: 1) output the stack config as an exported output and use a stack reference 2) use the automation API at a higher level to read the stack config 3) use a wrapper script to grab the values from the stack config file

kk, that works for me. thanks.
