Hi again all (including <@U0288KYUB7C>) - is there a way for pulumi to read a config file to populate its configuration instead of this being command line? Or is this just a matter of editing the pulumi.*.yaml file?

what did I do to get a special mention here? :smile:

I’d like to answer but I don’t really get your question. Are you talking about setting config values without using CLI?

If so, you can simply edit the stack YAML file. This is what I do. You have to use CLI in order to save secrets though.

Is there any way to avoid that error 'resourceInUseByAnotherResource' when you try to update a resource that has dependencies?

I’ve never seen this error myself :neutral_face:

Can you share some more details how you can reproduce that error?

<@U0288KYUB7C> will share momentarily, thanks for bearing with me!

I do get an error trying to delete the postgres user from a database instance when I try to pulumi destroy

quick search told me it might be related to GCP

Can we provide the version of pulumi as well as version of providers you’re using? (`pulumi version` + `pip freeze` from the venv should be enough)

Can you confirm we’re talking about CloudSQL from GCP? I think you didn’t mention the cloud provider. Did you create and manage the db server using pulumi as well?

`resourceInUseByAnotherResource` seems to be returned by GCP API itself so… it’s *probably* correct :smile:. The question is: how did you manage to get that? (it might be your fault or you manage to find a bug in a provider). If you are able to reproduce the issue consistently and can share the full code, it could help us debug it further.

Anyway, I’ll wait until you answer the questions above :slightly_smiling_face:.
