Hello I think I must be missing something obvious How does one use `aliases` with multiple stacks in the same project The URN includes the stack name so there doesn t seem to be a way to alias something that got moved at least using URNs Can t use parent name since it moved to an earlier component in the dep tree

You can use `Alias` objects instead <https github com pulumi pulumi blob 5d91f8f32220e48a6c9b1bec1a590e5bdbb086ab sdk nodejs resource ts L459>

Via the parent you mean I don t have the old parent since it is dependent on the new one

Oh right I see and Alias Parent wants a URN not a name

echoing-dinner-19531 · Answer

So that s dumb and feel free to raise an issue that Alias objects ought to support parent being just name For now I think you d have to construct the URN manually That shouldn t be too tricky as you can ask for the current stack name with `getStack ` and you ve got what the parent URN looks like so if you ve got something like urn pulumi test stack test project some type parent name you can just lerp in the result of getStack for the stackname part of the URN and leave the rest as is

That works I agree if the parent could just be a name it would be a lot more straightforward
