Hi all, I have started experimenting with Pulumi automation API for a project and it is pretty great! Unfortunately, I have been having a major issue when using the Kubernetes provider. The tool I am trying to create is responsible for creating some infrastructure (Bucket / DB) on various clouds and deploy an application on existing Kubernetes clusters using Helm. I currently have an

infra

stack that outputs a kubeconfig file with temporary token. The kubeconfig is then used from a different

app

stack using pulumi.NewStackReference(). Everything works fine until the temporary token expire… Running refresh>up against

infra

update the kubeconfig file but then the

app

refresh still uses the old one and fail. Is there any workaround?

you need to also redeploy

app

after updating the kubeconfig from

infra

. Stack reference consumers currently need to be redeployed to propagate changes from their dependencies

Hum… so there is no way I can refresh the state of

app

before redeploying? I guess I could up > refresh > up

I don't think it's a bad idea to refresh before an up but I don't think it looks at or affects stacks that are referenced, for some reason. I do know for sure though that consuming stacks must be redeployed to propagate changes from referenced stacks. See here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2309
