Hello, I'm trying to do my first steps with automation-api and following the example in https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/tree/main/nodejs/pulumiOverHttp-ts I got the problem with passphrase must be set with PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE or PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE_FILE environment variables even if I do: export PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE="" curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"id":"hello3","content":"hello world\n"}' http://localhost:1337/sites {"commandResult":{"stdout":"Created stack 'hello3'\n","stderr":"error: passphrase must be set with PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE or PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE_FILE environment variables\n","code":255},"name":"CommandError"} surely I'm making some mistakes but can't realize yet

Is that environment variable set in the shell process that’s running the server? In what you’ve pasted above, it looks like you’re setting it in the shell where you’re running curl.

yes you are right, thanks!!

@hundreds-receptionist-31352 you can also set these environment variables on the workspace. You should be able to do this at the time you create your stack. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/x/automation/#LocalWorkspace-envVars Then every command will have them. But you will have to update all usages of LocalWorkspace.create/select stack, or anywhere that a LocalWorkspace is created. Those methods take an optional third parameter where you can set env vars on init: https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/nodejs/pulumiOverHttp-ts/index.ts#L73

Thanks Evan, I'll take a look at that too
