prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

let me find a `jq` one liner I ve posted here smile

great-sunset-355 · Answer

do you think it s possible to reverse the operation though

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

now I m confused you re the person I replied to thinking face

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

```pulumi stack export | jq deployment resources|=sort by urn ```

great-sunset-355 · Answer

yeah now I need to reverse the operation because it broke the state I

great-sunset-355 · Answer

I ll try to sort it by parent and see if it breaks even more

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

oh you mean that the order is actually important for `pulumi import` operation

great-sunset-355 · Answer

yes

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

damn neutral face

great-sunset-355 · Answer

I suspect the order is by parent

great-sunset-355 · Answer

I ll give it a try and let you know

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

that might do the trick

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

but I m afraid it should probably be a little bit more complicated

great-sunset-355 · Answer

then it may be needed to move resources without parent but that s not that many

great-sunset-355 · Answer

yeah `pulumi import` complains as it loads resources so it may help me I have only few resources fortunately

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

if changing the order somehow breaks the `pulumi import` it probably means it expects them in the right order so dependent resources are declared before the are used etc

great-sunset-355 · Answer

yes parents must be first

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

so I guess we re coming back to the topic to add some dedicated support for that

great-sunset-355 · Answer

hmm now `pulumi import` did not complain but `pulumi up` hangs then kills itself

great-sunset-355 · Answer

damn I wish this was on staging stack not a production disappointed

great-sunset-355 · Answer

I guess my remote state got irreversibly corrupted

great-sunset-355 · Answer

wait there are some checkpoints maybe that will help

great-sunset-355 · Answer

ooof I managed to recover thanks to checkpoints
