Question

However I struggle to understand how to test it locally the CLI seems to require the provider need to be published in some package registry how to add it to the Pulumi org I found no guidelines for contributing new providers except an issue in the bolierplate repo which is open for a year

fierce-ability-58936 · Answer

you can run `pulumi plugin install` with ``` f file string Install a plugin from a tarball file instead of downloading it```

fierce-ability-58936 · Answer

You don t have to add it to Pulumi org Can just publish it in your org and use <https github com springload pulumi tf provider ec blob master provider resources go L175> That makes it generate SDKs that reference this URL instead of the default one

fierce-ability-58936 · Answer

Documentation is a bit hairy here sometimes you have go through the code and github issues

< broad dog 22463> maybe following up on this issue would be helpful for people building Pulumi providers

broad-dog-22463 · Answer

totally agree but what specifically would help docs is a broad subject as we both know slightly smiling face What were the serious pain points for you that you had blocking on etc I ve built 50 of these and each are different due to upstream dependencies etc so trying to get an understanding of what the main issues are and then we can at least add value for our community sooner

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

things like ```Development Do this that add PluginDownloadURL to resources go Use make development```

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

Just skimmed through the makefile found it ```development install plugins provider lint provider build sdks install sdks cleanup Build the provider amp SDKs for a development environment```

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

< billowy army 68599> have you been able to instruct Pulumi CLI to download your provider when using the NET stack I see the download location is specified for all langs except NET

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

no you have to do it manually with `pulumi plugin install server` for the time being

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

the problem with Go and Dotnet is that the packaging system doesn t allow metadata like node and python do

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

thanks I thought so

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

for NET though I think it could be a custom build target

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

can you elaborate I m open to any suggestions here to get this fixed

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

For example this code added to the csproj file runs `yarn install` when the project builds

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

``` lt Target Name= DebugEnsureNodeEnv BeforeTargets= Build Condition= $ Configuration == Debug And Exists $ SpaRoot node modules gt lt Exec Command= node version ContinueOnError= true gt lt Output TaskParameter= ExitCode PropertyName= ErrorCode gt lt Exec gt lt Error Condition= $ ErrorCode = 0 Text= Node js is required to build and run this project gt lt Message Importance= high Text= Restoring dependencies using yarn This may take several minutes gt lt Exec WorkingDirectory= $ SpaRoot Command= yarn install gt lt Target gt ```

plain-quill-22197 · Answer

it s possible to include a custom target in a library package so then the package gets installed the target is included like Adam Ralph did with MinVer <https github com adamralph minver blob main MinVer MinVer csproj>
