I'm trying to run a program using the automation API and getting this error:

Copy code

I'm sure i'm missing something obvious. (thread)

package.json

has the right pulumi packages I think:

Copy code

"@pulumi/aws": "^3.0.0",
        "@pulumi/awsx": "^0.22.0",
        "@pulumi/pulumi": "^2.12.0",

I based my program on the example at https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/nodejs/inlineProgram-ts/package.json

Hmm - this program does try to re-use stack outputs as input to a pulumi program ... I'm doing this:

Copy code

const authnOutput= new pulumi.StackReference(`...`).outputs

const args: InlineProgramArgs = {
  ...
  program: async () => authnOutput.apply((authnOutput) => createDocumentSite(authnOutput.authNDomain, authnOutput.publicKey))
};

Where

createDocumentSite

creates resources, but notice I'm using

apply

to get stack output values ... Probably bad?

Try moving the `const authnRef = new pulumi.StackReference(...)`` line to inside your program. You cannot create any resources outside of that program() method

That helped me make progress, thanks! I ended up with:

Copy code

const args: InlineProgramArgs = {
  ...
  program: async () => {
    const authnOutput= new pulumi.StackReference(`...`).outputs
    authnOutput.apply((authnOutput) => createDocumentSite(authnOutput.authNDomain, authnOutput.publicKey))
  }
};

Yes, any pulumi related code has to be run from within the

program

(inline function). This would include stack references. The error message could definitely be more clear here
