Is it possible to sort exported stack JSON in order it should be in case it was reordered?

jq
one-liner I’ve posted here 😄

do you think it's possible to reverse the operation though?

now I’m confused - you’re the person I replied to 🤔
Copy code
pulumi stack export | jq '.deployment.resources|=sort_by(.urn)'

yeah now I need to reverse the operation because it broke the state. I
I'll try to sort it by parent and see if it breaks even more

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

yes

I suspect the order is by parent
I'll give it a try and let you know

that might do the trick
but I’m afraid it should probably be a little bit more complicated

then it may be needed to move resources without parent but that's not that many
yeah
pulumi import
complains as it loads resources so it may help me. I have only few resources fortunately

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.)

yes, parents must be first

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

hmm now
pulumi import
did not complain but
pulumi up
hangs then kills itself
damn, I wish this was on staging stack not a production 😞
I guess my remote state got irreversibly corrupted
wait there are some checkpoints maybe that will help
ooof I managed to recover thanks to checkpoints!

Ah yeah as you’ve discovered the order in the state file is by dependency
