Hey all! Anyone know if there’s a way to refresh the provider state for typescript custom providers?

By provider state, do you mean the cloud resources, or the configuration of the provider object? What isn't working the way you'd like it to?

More specifically dynamic resource providers.

Currently looking into an issue where the v1 of the dynamic resource provider had a bug in the diff logic. There’s a fix in v2 but not too sure how to bring this into the state

I guess I could manually replace the transpiled javascript in the state itself - but that feels a bit icky :eyes:

And the dynamic provider is in a different codebase? Once the right code is being called by Pulumi, that's all you should need. So if it's in a different codebase / package, you'll need to update your packages.json. If it's in the same codebase, it should "just work".

Yup - it’s in the same code base. I don’t think refresh/preview/diff uses the “current” dynamic provider. Instead, it uses the dynamic provider at the point of the last `up`

Oh. I haven't encountered that problem. Since the logic isn't in the state file, it seems odd. I think you'll need help from a staff member for that one, it might be pretty involved :disappointed:

Maybe chuck in a few `pulumi.log()` statements into the diff code and verify that they're not being used?

Then raise a GitHub issue in pulumi/pulumi.

Good idea! Yeah, i think it might be typescript specific since i can see the transpiled javascript in the `__provider` property in the state. Anyways, I’ll do some more digging! Thanks for your help!

Ah, then you're a step or two ahead of me already! Good luck!
