Hello! I have a problem with

pulumi stack import

. I accidentally used the wrong AWS profile when creating a resource on my pulumi stack. Now pulumi thinks I’ve created a resource when it doesn’t exist in the AWS account that the stack is pointing at. I tried the following steps to fix this: 1.

pulumi stack export > stack.json

2. delete references to the resources I don’t want to have in the stack 3.

pulumi stack import --file stack.json

However, the

pulumi stack import

doesn’t seem to import my changes? I get no interesting output after doing step 3. When trying step 1 again (after having done step 3) I still see the references to the resources that I deleted in step 2. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

try running a pulumi refresh between 2 and 3

Thanks!

i normally also just run

pulumi stack import < stack.json

Although I wrote the correct command in this thread, I accidentally ran

pulumi import

in the terminal… I didn’t see this as I referenced my stack using the

--stack

flag. It’s been a long day haha. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the fast reply!

no worries mate! glad to have helped

I accidentally ran

pulumi import

in the terminal…

Oh oops. I'm surprised this didn't error out with either unrecognized flags or file format.

Yea I was also surprised.
