Is there a way to use a StackReference in the Pulumi Automation API When I attempt to initialize a new StackReference it complains at runtime ```Trying to acquire Deployment Instance before Run was called ```

can you show a code sample of your StackReference usage

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

it needs to be inside your pulumi program so the instantiation should be inside the pulumi program delegate that isn t executed until pulumi execution starts or inside your `Pulumi Stack` constructor which isn t instantiated until pulumi execution starts The error you re seeing I would expect if you newed a StackReference outside of a pulumi program context
