Copy code
pulumi config set --path '["parent.name"].["nested.name"]' value will set the value of parent.name to a map nested.name: value.b

seems to be the same question as above, see here: https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/C019YSXN04B/p1631791361047600?thread_ts=1631495280.039000&cid=C019YSXN04B

09/16/2021, 1:52 PMI'm still unsure how to set structured configuration. I'm using Python and I've tried a few different techniques but all I get is:
Copy code
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not dictcrooked-pillow-11944
09/16/2021, 1:56 PMI think I got it - finally succeeded in applying updates with a generic json blob. I'll try to put the data that I want there now

09/16/2021, 2:00 PMCan I iterate over the contents of the config value using standard dictionary methods?

09/16/2021, 2:03 PMNope -
'str' object has no attribute 'items'b

would you mind opening an issue for that?

09/16/2021, 2:25 PMI don't think this is an issue - the Config object returns a string
In this case it's a JSON string which needs to be converted to a dictionary, which is what I did:
Copy code
mydict = {'project1': 'vpc','project2': 'rds'}
infra_projects = json.dumps(mydict)
....
infra_projects = config.require('infra_projects')
infra_projects_dict = json.loads(infra_projects)
...
for k,v in infra_projects_dict.items():
create_codebuild_project(k, codepipeline_bucket, v)👍🏽 1

09/16/2021, 2:35 PMThe process to load a list is very similar
