I'm trying to import a nested resource resource but am having some trouble. I have this `import.json`:

{
  "nameTable": {
    "internal-smoketest-master": "urn:pulumi:internal-smoketest::byoc::components:iac:aws:QuestDBCluster$components:iac:aws:Instance::internal-smoketest-master"
  },
  "resources": [
    {
      "id": "eni-attach-0636431dce761a217",
      "type": "aws:ec2/networkInterfaceAttachment:NetworkInterfaceAttachment",
      "name": "internal-smoketest-master-nic-attch",
      "parent": "internal-smoketest-master"
    }
  ]
}

but I'm getting weird error when I try to import the resource:

➜  bleh git:(fix-aws-nic-attachments) ✗ pulumi import -f import.json --preview-only --protect=false
Previewing import (internal-smoketest):
     Type                 Name                     Plan     
     pulumi:pulumi:Stack  byoc-internal-smoketest           

Resources:
    47 unchanged

error: anonymous.pp:12,10-35: undefined variable internal-smoketest-master;

Am I doing this right? It's taken me a bit of time to figure out the import file format and nametable structure. For context, the nic attachment is a child of a component resource, "Instance", which itself is a component resource of "QuestDBCluster"

@rough-ice-18151 Typically it's better to use the

--import-file

option of

pulumi up

to let Pulumi create the import file. This saves you from figuring out the correct parents and their URNs.

Ah neat! Didn't know about that, thanks!

@rough-ice-18151 Of course. And I'm stupid 😄 it's

pulumi preview

NOT

pulumi up

sorry if that created any confusion on your side. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/adopting-pulumi/import/ https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/cli/commands/pulumi_preview/

ah that makes more sense, thanks!
