Hello! I'm trying to move a resource from one stack to another, but it complains about the provider already existing, which it does. I'm not sure how to solve this:

Copy code

pulumi state move \
    --source nextgen/app/prod \
    --dest nextgen/scaleway-iam/prod \
    'urn:pulumi:prod::app::scaleway:account/project:Project::merlin-prod'
error: provider urn:pulumi:prod::scaleway-iam::pulumi:providers:scaleway::default_1_25_0_github_/api.github.com/pulumiverse already exists in destination stack

you may have better luck by deleting it from the state of the old stack and then importing it into the new stack

Thanks, is this it? https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/adopting-pulumi/import/ Do you know if a resource can exist in two stacks at the same time? For migration purposes

i haven't tested it, but i doubt pulumi enforces unique resources across stacks, so you should be able to import into the new stack before deleting (from the state only) from the old stack.
