Question

Is the Stack type still used if an InlineProgram is created Looking at the code it doesn t seem to be Does the InlineProgram become the roots stack

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

You can still use the stack type The functionality is on the `PulumiFn` class It is just another way of providing your pulumi program delegate You could either `PulumiFn Create lt TStack gt ` `PulumiFn Create delegate ` It is the same functionality as before Automation API where you would either `Deployment RunAsync lt TStack gt ` `Deployment RunAsync delegate `

Thanks yeah I dug through the code So with an InlineProgram when a resource is created the parent isn t auto set like with a stack which makes sense

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

no that isn t exactly true there is always a root stack resource If you aren t using a `TStack` type than internally Pulumi is just doing that for you I can link you the code 1 sec

you can see that `Pulumi Stack` has an internal constructor that takes in a delegate And you can see that if you provide a delegate instead of a `TStack` type than it is just using that internal constructor so there is always a root `Pulumi Stack` resource

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

In both cases `TStack` and delegate programs the following code ```var parent = type == Stack rootPulumiStackTypeName null options Parent Deployment InternalInstance Stack ``` `parent` would be set by `Deployment InternalInstance Stack` It just ensures that `Pulumi Stack` resource never has a parent
