Yes, you can run “other” C# code in your pulumi program. Pulumi will try to run it on all

pulumi preview

or

pulumi up

calls. So you may want to put a conditional around it using

isDryRun()

(https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/runtime/#isDryRun) to avoid the code running during preview.

You should probably do that inside an

Apply

when all dependencies for that call are resolved.

@miniature-leather-70472 hey Sam (it's Stef 🙂), I've just implemented this to test an Azure Function after creation; Pulumi does not affect the regular C# code, as @tall-librarian-49374 pointed out, you just want to make sure it runs when you expect it to using

Apply

for dependencies. Have at my implementation here: https://github.com/UnoSD/TvShowRss/blob/95d8ad28ce3ff4c7ea339f0231ad3a03a99f0446/Infrastructure/Program.cs#L404

Thanks, got that working nicely now. Is there a way to get this to run every time? At the moment it only triggers if there is a change to apply.

I would expect it to run every time.

hmm, I'm seeing some inconsistency, sometimes it runs every time, then sometimes it seems to get skipped

Then, I suspect you ignore the result of

Apply

. You should assign it to stack outputs to guarantee the execution.
