Pulumi Community

Hello! I am new to Pulumi and Python. I'm attempting to implement unit testing but I'm running into an error while running my test
```pulumi.config.ConfigMissingError: Missing required configuration variable 'project:BILLING_ACCOUNT'
    please set a value using the command `pulumi config set project:BILLING_ACCOUNT &lt;value&gt;````
Could someone point me in the correct direction on the best way to handle this?

suspect you need to point to your config file

I believe you're encountering <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/4472> which has examples of workarounds for the various languages.

<@UDEJ1F5SQ> Yes I believe you're correct. Would you know the best way to approach this in Python?

Sorry... I skimmed the comments there too quickly earlier. I think passing or setting `PULUMI_CONFIG` with your configuration data is your best option.
